Blackwater mercenaries and others 'could' become a force used by despots; they are currently waging a kind of asymmetrical warfare in the middle east, and are not under the purview of congress or any other governmental entity. they will likely be babysitting bush when he retires to Paraguay, and watching out for dick when he sneaks off to dubai, guarding against the threat of kidnapping for war crimes trials. blackwater is this elite's version of the SA. the role they'll play upon return to the US is anyone's guess, but it isn't too difficult to imagine.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
