America! Should Americans be wondering what it will be like to have the first female president in their history or the second Clinton? For the rest of the world, there are more relevant questions US citizens should be asking themselves. How, for example, have they arrived at a situation where their government lies to them as a matter of course? Or how have they permitted their government to become a sort of Big Brother? There are other possible questions. At what moment was the American democracy screwed up? Are Americans really a force for the good in the world, as they think? One last question that really puzzles foreigners. How can the president, Congressmen, politicians, the media, the elites and other government-related organizations come to think identically when the topic is Israel?
