It is one of the enduring mysteries of American political life that any non-person with enough assets can assume a position of authority merely by having sufficient chutzpah and a loud enough voice. If it wasn't so tragic - if over a 1000 people hadn't been killed including 320 children - it might be a movie script. But it isn't. The killings are real and the anger grows around the world that America can collude in such atrocities.

I have seen recent graffiti on public buildings in Brazil condemning "the Israeli genocide in Gaza." Israel is seen as an extension of the U.S., so an already negative view of the gringos to the north is confirmed and amplified. "Why do you Americans love to kill people so much?" Not a pretty picture.
