In other news, pot calls kettle black. Sorry, no offense, but it amuses me to no end when these world leaders start throwing around accusations of hypocrisy. They are all hypocrits. People of integrity rarely, if ever, make it that far in politics.

I think we actually live in a hypocracy, not a democracy

He has a bit of a point. But is it possible to stop all the corporations of buying/selling there? And does the trade of those other corporations bring similar amounts of technical know-how or money there? Looking at it that way, it might actually be a lame excuse.
But probably not, they would be able to see through that. I dont see how it is a bad argument if it is true.

The United States is the biggest hypocrites in the world, Halliburton pulled out of Iran a couple of months before it was declared that we might be going to invade Iran, coincidence, I don't think so.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
