I think the UK had it's fair of oddballs too.
At least American politicians know how to "act" civillized. Behaviour that is tolerated in the House of Commons certainly would not be tolerated here.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
