“The propaganda, which is only fairy tales for adults, is thick everywhere. Just send in the troops, murder whoever you want, and call them peace keepers.

I’ll not comment on Fenwick’s letter, except to say that I chuckled over his acerbic remark that his country “may as well be another star on the US flag.” It reminds me of some Filipinos who wish that were the case for the Philippines.
