You are representing America, and you are not doing it in the style that is described in very exaggerated fashion in 'The Ugly American.'
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
People must meet and understand other people, and so doing make it ever more difficult for governments, responding to false prides or even worse, personal ambitions, to sustain dictatorships.
It makes no difference for what individual or party you vote, as long as you are voting your own honest convictions.
