The US government makes me rageous
I am seriously beginning to lose faith in the U.S. goverment. It's ridiculous. The different departments don't work together and always end up cancelling each other out and whenever it starts with a good idea, the inefficiency is bound to make it so nothing works or gets done. Case in point: the U.S. intervention in Guatemala in 1954. $10 million promised/set aside for immediately after the intervention. What happened? The U.S. governemt putsed around for 6+ months and then gave about half. Later, emergency aid was requested (another $10 mil) but the FOA gave $1 million because they didn't want to give Guatemala too much attention since then other Central American countries would expect the same treatment. And don't even get me started about the lack of intelligence regarding objectives after the intervention. The same thing happened in Iraq. No real plan for the future and no exit strategy that doesn't cripple the new government. Not that any of the original reasons for going in to these things are legitimate, but on top of all that we (and by we I mean our government, our "representative" of the people)always manage to go in blind. It's ridiculous. It's so ineffecient and no one ever thinks to reform it. No one ever thinks that the system itself has flaws. I'm not saying capitalism has flaws or democracy has flaws or the checks and balances system has flaws. I'm saying the different branches and offices don't work well together; this needs to be reformed. The election system is messed up: reform here as well. The way our government relates to other countries is fuuuuuuuuuuuuucked up. We need to stop this. I could go on. But I think you get the idea. And I have homework. RAR.
