America: The World's Master of Double Standards

In recent times, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a prominent war hawk, has become the administration's outspoken official who warns other nations of the consequences they face if they dare to go against the wishes of the Obama administration. She has warned the leaders of Russia, China, and Iran; she has also warned nations of Latin America; Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil that they are getting too close to Iran.

Why can't these countries get the message and get their acts in order? They are being warned continuously that their actions are not in sync with the interests of the U.S. and, yet, they persist in trying to make their own determinations. Hillary Clinton is, of course, exactly right! They need to understand their place in the world and act accordingly. And that means staying in line and get with the plan, our plan, that is. Then everything will be just great, don't you know?

It's really a monumental job that we have to keep all these nations under some kind of semblance of control and compliance; but, then again, someone has to do it and we are the best qualified for the job. That's why we have established the set rules that we expect the rest of the world to follow.

And, again, if any nation doesn't like these rules, what exactly are they going to do about it?
