What the US left doesn't seem to get through it's collective miniscule mind is that the rest of the world is watching with bated breath and is sharply interested in seeing if you can somehow manage to have "free and fair elections", and if you cannot then don't be too surprised if your national opinion is discounted by all those you preach at.
This is "make or break" and is way more important than political or monetary gain...believe it or not it is also more immediately important than "national identity"...the gravity of the situation should have elected Governments all over the world desperately hoarding toilet paper for the coming shitstorm.
