During another interesting exercise of talking heads engaging in mental masturbation on CNN Friday night, David Gergen was asked on CNN about our intervention in Libya versus our hands off policy in regards to Tunisia and Egypt. We found the response quite interesting, disturbing, sad and probably true. Mr. Gergen responded with, and we are paraphrasing here, that the difference was between that which are the principles on which this country was founded and that which is in the Nations best interest?We of have long intimated that America is suffering from schizophrenia. And not just in foreign policy, but domestically too. We use to think that the problem was just plain hypocrisy. However we are now convinced that the incestuous relationship between politicians and corporations, the dumbing down of America (In a recent poll 73% of the respondents did not know what the cold war was about), or plain just don't give a damn has metastasized.
