To Michel, France: If you are interested in who governs really here, try to get your hand on this book: "9/11 and American Empire - Intellectuals Speak out", edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott. I especially recommend the last 3 chapters, and in particular the last one, ch.11, and its appendix with the names of important organisations and a list of the Key Players in American Politics. I counted them at 237 people +/- one or 2. They must nearly all support AIPAC although only one is listed as doing so. See who they work for, also! That is the real government of this country. Nothing will change with the next "chosen" president. Also, I see you can still buy an old French book by Claude Julien, "L'Empire Americain", publie par Grasset! (1968). I wrote a note inside the cover after I read it in the early 80s, that says: "If I had read this in 1978, I would never, never, have come here. N.E.V.E.R." Good reading.
