Houston, We Have a Problem. The Same People "Own" All National Policy.

Former [National Security Council Staff] Criticize Iran Policy as US Hegemony

Review of Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett's "Going to Tehran: Why the United States Must Come to Terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran" (Metropolitan Books, 2013)

'WASHINGTON, Feb 25 2013 (IPS) - “Going to Tehran” arguably represents the most important work on the subject of U.S.-Iran relations to be published thus far.'

We're just along for the ride?

Why does a dog pretend to ride the flea on it's tail end? Fleas can't even see where they think the dog's heading - or imagine it's actual outcomes. Is the entire electorate of the USA is just part of the 1%'s rendition program? And our little dogs too? And even our kids? If we're along for the outcomes, shouldn't we provide a tad more feedback - before we get there again? Doesn't democracy mean practicing OBT&E nationwide?

Let's add operations and policy, and upgrade from OBT&E to OBTEO&P.
