The nature of politics in the western world has been dictated by a history of civil discourse, we've had politicians who have disagreed with each other, some have indeed been corrupt and out for personal gain. We've had others who have manipulated the process in order to serve a personal agenda.

However, up until 2000, I don't think we've seen in the western world a leader who was truly evil.

I'm so tired lately, and I think it's because the battle against evil is being lost. Preparations for war are being made on a daily basis, and it barely registers on the news. The political pundits are discussing it during the graveyard hours, but it's not part of the normal conversation. Not that long ago, preparations for war would have dominated the news, but we've become so numb to war, to the idea of invading another country that we don't even talk about it, the murder of a con man's wife and child is much more important.

This is not a matter of a disagreement over intentions, this is true world domination. The man who sits in the White House has surrounded himself with a praetorian guard bent on bending the world to it's will. Countries that differ with the intentions of the white house are to be toppled and their governments replaced.

It's not just countries that have come under scrutiny either, it's individuals. The NSA spying scandal has shown that not even citizenship in the republic guarantees freedom from suspicion.
