The Big Dog

s my readers know I have never been a big fan of Bill Clinton. I caucused for Paul Psongas in 1992. But the Big Dog can give one hell of a speech. The best line, I think, from his great speech tonight was.

“People abroad have always been more impressed with the power of our example, than with the example of our power.”

Folks in the rest of the world understand what most folks in the USA don’t. That is that the heavy hand of USA power has too often been used, whether covertly or overtly, in other nations to suppress popular movements and democratically elected governments to secure and ensure markets for USA business. The results, particularly in Latin America, have been the endurance of rich oligarchs, poverty stricken populations, and the stunting of the economic development.
