The few versus the many |
I was reading the NYT when I came across a very astonishing phrase. It was about the future government of Venezuela. The headline was: "House Foreign Affairs Members Call for Machado to Govern Venezuela". And the article was talking about how the members of the said house of the United States government wanted to place Maria Corina Machado as the next leader of the country, whose sitting leader was kidnapped by the United States a few weeks ago.
Last time I checked, the members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee of the US government were not citizens of Venezuela. But somehow, not only do they decide who the leader of Venezuela should be, but also, somehow, deep down, we have come to terms with this foreign interference-driven global politics.
It seems as though the nations of the world all agree that democracy is the best form of government, yet that is also the most common grudge any given nation holds against the other.
The United States is angry........
