Very refreshing, Caitlin & Tim and thank you very much. This may be the first time that this brown/black person has come across ( of course with the exception of some worthy academics and journals), the cataloguing of the western world's criminal enterprises. The outrage Caitlin feels is the outrage that we have been feeling forever.

Caitlin directly addresses the plight of what Noam Chomsky called "... the worthy and unworthy victims..". It is not as if the criminal record of the West wasn't there for those who want to see - the majority just didn't care, happy and wallowing in the largess of the plundered riches of empire.

I blame not only the viciousness of the West but the collaborator class of the 'other' who for their greed went along with the repression of their own people.

There were great good leaders who emerged in the aftermath of decolonisation ( which would never have happened if not for the Soviet Union ) but were brutally eliminated, all the time to the tune of ".. making the world safe for democracy"!

What happens now? With an oligarchy whose greed is insatiable and an idiot leader whose vision is limited to real estate.
