    Not really, US goals in the region are mostly now, and historically (post Shah), to do with preventing Iran from running the show. The neo-conservative 'spreading democracy' thing didn't last very long. I know who he is, and yes, he is a conspiracy theorist, and a fantasist. Most of the claims in his book can not be corroborated, he likely made most of it up or embellished what actually went on. Check out some of the other books he's written too, lol, on Shamanistic Shape Shifting and Time Travel: Sorry it was Qassim he was talking about (who wasn't the leader before Saddam btw, there were two or three other guys in between), he was talking about Saddam before that and I didn't notice him mention Qassim, but that doesn't change my point, as he was a military dictator also. Saddam did nationalise the Iraqi oil industry during the 70s Oil crisis btw, dictators claiming to act for the benefit of the common man is a pretty common trope. Sounds like a good idea to me. USA meddling via giant firms often backfires or works out to a country going again its own best interests and often provides for a corporation to have a grip on the local politics. there's lot's of examples of this kind of thing throughout USA foreign policy history. a for perkins - i wasn't aware of his other books but reading some of the reviews it seems the shapeshifting thing is more about "the evil western culture" vs "primitive people's are awesome" stories of a personal nature but not actually abotu shapeshifting shamans. the confessions of an economic hitman was a bestseller for quite a while. seems he'd have been called out a fraud long ago? i'll have to look more into his history and see what's confirmed. when i mentioned wahhabism i'm talking about the fundamentalism and the schools they fund/use indoctrinate the arab world. they export those beliefs which according to all we've been told since 9-11 and before are the exact things the USA is fighting against in the region which of course is bullshit because i don't think anyone knows wtf they're doing anymore as far as a larger strategic policy goes. so, i think the goals, whatever they are, are obscured from USA citizens under the cover of a war and blanket public statements of long term goals. Re iran.. we totally screwed the pooch on iran when we outed mossadegh in favor of the shah. so it goes. the "spreading democracy thing" was never gonna work. meddling rarely does. seems if we'dhave done nothing over there other than satisfy american need for revenge for 9-11 and then leave we'd be way better off.

    i think many americans often think america is the center of the world.. the shining city on a hill or whatever.. center of all that is good and exemplary and a lot of what we're seeing, combined with some weird white fear of being a minority, is a reaction to not being able to admit it to themselves that capitalism and american foreign policy/society are pretty much shitty 90% of the time or something. its obviously reflected in our current president. I honestly couldn't begin to imagine what kind of life that would be, never to leave the neighborhood or town you grew up in, were born in. But then again this is coming from a spoiled military brat and former exchange student. and it's often not about going to a foreign country but even visiting other states in the USA. "why would i leave southern california? it's the best place" is pretty much what one person said to me.

    “Worldly“. I don’t know how we compare to other nations but I’ve met plenty of people who never leave their own neighborhood who are educated and wealthy enough to take a trip once in a while but never do. The idea that there’s a world out there that thinks differently than them in any way is unfathomable or something. And of course there’s plenty of people who just don’t aspire to engage the world except from their living room via tv it internet. Lots of people think the American way, in whatever context, is the right way. But there’s plenty of worldly Americans. I don’t think many of them voted for trump though. I’m sure there’s statistics on all this stuff somewhere. So I don’t know about worldly Americans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When I say “set up” I’m talking about modernization. Big money contracts for us companies to build all kinds of infrastructure as part of a larger deal for better or worse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Didn’t say we set up Wahhabism just to consider it as part of the weirdness in USA Saudi relations because it’s counter to all the USA “goals” in the region. That guy is not a conspiracy theorist. He is actually the guy who went into countries and set them up with USA interests. He wrote a book about it later in life to expose it all. If you take a minute to google him and his book you’ll understand he’s not some wacko talking about gay frogs but someone who was once in the inner circle of USA international affairs working with large companies like bechtel and Halliburton etc. Also he wasn’t talking about Sadam wanting to nationalize the oil but the leader before saddam.

    except worse and weirder. consider wahhabism, the way we set up the country as detailed in "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" etc etc etc etc etc...

    yeah.. agree. usa so overspends on military it's absurd.. offensive really.

    USA blew it during the cold war. in the 80s if we even just spent half on infrastructure and education of what we spent on defense to "keep up" w/soviet union we'd have one helluva a set up these days. but that's not how defense spending works especially with republicans rolling over everything in their path
