I'm waiting for the government to build a winter olympic venue there soon. Trying to bring a democracy to that area of the world is like feeding strawberries to a pig. There is a difference in culture, that will always remain no matter what we do. We lost our way picking up dominos, erasing the red peril, and bringing an arab spring to the world.But the most insane thing was borrowing money from china to give to thieves in the middle east. yeah people are laughing at us while they put what use to be our money into their swiss bank accounts. i'm not amused.
