You can always tell an engineer - you just can't tell him much.

US helped rebuild the Philipines after WW2. Additionally, the endless stream of money that was "invested" as a result of the US bases that was here until recently have forged the system here. It's quite an interesting actually.
Sounds like we made a big mistake there.
Oh yes, if you start to dig into this, you wont beleive your eyes. There is a couple of good books on the subject, one is "Waltzing with a dictator" (don't remember the author) that covers the years with Marco. It's amazing to see what happened behinf the curtains, but very sad reading, it's all about money, politics and prestige. So much people died and suffered and US gov know all about, just did not give a ****.
Btw, i know why you wrote what you did, and partially agree. The world is full of "consumer bone heads" that makes life difficult for others. But that's no reason to assume that everyone is like that.
