The US for long knew about the dictatoria
l (even maniacal) tendencies of the Saddam Husseins's and Manuel Noriega's, but as long as these served the West's interests, they were tolerated. The former was even linked with chemical weapons, technology the US (through the CIA) had availed during Hussein's alliance against the Ayatollah'

Obama is just one more US president bending to the whims of faceless warmongers
. Regardless of whether it's manipulati
on of the president, it's hardly a new act. That doesn't justify what is going on but it's just in line with global imperialis
tic tendencies powers tend to exercise, in a bid to flex muscle. Nothing really new under the sun here.
