is the name of the CIA program from the 60s, 70s, 80s - we've always had this double standard, one nice lovely set of "ideals" that we use to make ourselves feel smugly better than all those third world dictators and people in the old days, and then the real set of ideals that we lived by, the Good Germans among us (which is most of us) turning a blind eye to the fact that we were training and paying for those torturing dictators, so long as they claimed to be "supporting democracy."

Do you know about the CIA's involvement in Greece? In Indonesia? In Iran? Read, also, about SAVIK - the Shah's secret police were just as bad as the KGB. Why do you think we were hated and there was a revolution there? Because they're irrational Arabs?

Google and read up on what we have been tolerating all these years. Also, read about Emma Goldman being beaten and molested in jail, after McKinley was assassinated and this was used as a crackdown on US dissidents, a hundred years ago - this is nothing new.  Negroponte is now turning a blind eye to evils committed by our puppets in Baghdad just as he did in Central America. We made Oliver North a national hero, and demonized the Senators who tried to make an accounting for Iran-Contra.

We reap what we have sown. And nobody wants to hear it - you'd all still rather believe that we were always the noble, generous, altruistic saints of the world, and all those people around the world who resent America are just jealous or evil.
