The U.S. is NOT unique in that it lies all the time, to everyone. This administration IS unique in that, globally, they caught out there, dea in the middle of the lie, all the time. Example: -The U.S. wants North Korea dismantle its nuclear facilities in Yongbyon. -South Korea is against the U.S. demanding that. -We give the South Koreans guarantees that we have not asked that of the North, and will not without further "consultation and discussion" with South Korea. -But, of course, we lied. Because we're so smart, and everyone else is an idiot. No really, that's what we believe... -Now South Korea is pissed off, and once again another ally moves further away from trusting what the Bush administration says, and further away from trusting their motives...
