I’m old, and I’m tired of this whole dog and pony show; tired of corrupt politicians, venal beauracrats practicing “realpolitik,” fanatics on every side, everybody concerned only with their own interests, and the U.S. everybody’s favorite whipping boy. Enough. I don’t recall being asked whether we should save the world from itself. From what I can see, humanity is hardly worth saving. Forget spreading democracy, that’s a pipe dream. Let’s reinstitute isolationism and let these idiots destroy themselves. We’ve done enough.
