Who is us?
Lord have mercy! Us is an occupying army who does nothing but spend money to "win the hearts and minds" of the people us is trampling on. Us is a country who, when attacked by 19 Saudis, attacks Afghanistan. Us is a country who spends gobs of money to build luxurious mud structures, then looks around expecting applause and appreciation. Us is a county who grabs her skirts and vamooses and points back at the people us deserted and says "See? Them? They're the ones! They never...." (Fill in the blank.). Us is...well, I can't think of anything else polite to say. Us is impolite.
The sad, sad, sad, sad, sad thing is we could have known better. Alexander the Great couldn't conquer Afghanistan, and no one has since. And we call them backward. Sigh.
I would like to think the denizens of WDC are avoiding mirrors, but somehow I doubt that too.
