10. What made America great - in the world's eye - was great American leadership.

Striving to lead the world post WW2. But then, politics was seen as a way to make big bucks, and so the Bush 12 year selling out our US interests. Jimmy Carter tried to right the ship, but cutting deals with the Iranian government to hold the hostages until after they were in office did him in. That's the marker for me when the world started waking up to the reality of US foreign policy.

And don't think for a minute that the primary reason why we have a Southern immigration refugee problem can't be found. It lies directly in our CIA-sponsored acts to undermine democracy in these countries, to benefit big AG, starting in the 50s. All Republican administrations.

They've been using Central and South America as laboratories to install RW governments that made life hell for millions of people. We knew this in the 70's. Now, it's being implemented on the biggest prize.,,,,us.
