Any drinking places that you can recommend?

I am American

2003 the US was first welcomed as liberators in Iraq.

US incompetence, based on stupidity and neo-liberal ideology poisoned success, such as:

1: Fire the and let the army take ammo and weapons home.

2: Ban Baath party members no matter how low, like school teachers from jobs.

Own goal!

My apologies!

Everyone says Lecarre’s “Honorable Schoolboy” about China/VN/HK/Cambodia is too complex to be made. It is splendid and needs to be done.

As if it was not always obvious that it was stupid from the beginning.

What a F****** clown show!

How many of the people sue for damages?

And what is the results of these suits?

That is the metric.

Agree, this is a U.S. problem to fix. Have no animus against professionals working within a flawed system.

So why does the U.S. import doctors (and nurses) when everyone knows there are huge numbers of US residents totally qualified to become medical professionals. This shit needs to be fixed!

I live in JP but have US Audible account (which Amazon does not like)

Was able to download the audio book.

Am listening to it now. Very hard-hitting.

Any idea why you could not download?

Glad you are on Bluesky so I no longer need to follow you on X.

I learned dumbass Friedman stuff as well. My favorite was that deficits did not matter because taxpayers would increase savings in anticipation of higher taxes. Duh?

I understand that deportations are a civil (not criminal) action. However, a deportation to an El Salvador jail (for which the US is paying) sounds like a criminal action, for which different rights are lawful. Can anybody explain this? Please forward to your better contacts.
