Taking Over the World
Apparently the US plans to take over the world. Did you know this? I didn’t, although I am sure it is discussed in some conspiracy theory groups. I was reading a blurb on Foxnews today that tells how Hugo Chavez (President of Venezuela) said that the US is a monster who would never give up overthrowing him. I had no idea the US wanted to overthrow Chavez (although I know we’re probably not thrilled with him as a leader). Chavez then goes on to talk about the US invading Venezuela. Um, yeah…just like we’re going to invade North Korea. Of course, Venezuela makes more sense than North Korea seeing how they have oil, but seriously, invade them? Excuse me while I clean up the mess I just made by snorting Dr. Pepper out of my nose.
I suppose it’s the popular cry these days. The US invaded Iraq and now they’re going to invade us! I suppose the French will decide that we are actually going to invade them next. Or the countires can all draw straws and whoever gets the longest straw is who we will invade first. It amazes me what people actually think about the US. Do we care that Chavez is a dictator and no friend to us? Yes. Do we want to invade his country? No. But, I suppose a country that no one really cares about (except for the fact that the people are starving) can only look important if the US is about to invade them. Makes for good media.
