I have unwittingly ruined my country.

* i wish someone would ask someone exactly what it means when they say 'member of alqaeda or an affiliate' - that affiliate list must be really, really long, and really ill-defined. they are very careful to add that 'affiliate' nonsense on every occasion - i wonder why that is...

* flashback: Woodrow Wilson:

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world - no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
