It appears the United States is on the way to becoming the next Iraq as it was under Saddam Hussein. The similarities are, unfortunately, many.
As in Iraq, our country is being ruled by a narcissistic, immoral, corrupt individual who surrounds himself with family and cronies and places them in positions of power. His support comes from members of a minority religious sect who are quite content to see abuses leveled onto the majority, as long as the tyrant panders to their wants. He professes to their religion but follows none of its tenets.
His political allies, although they privately might question his intent, say nothing and acquiesce to his demands to curry his favor and to avoid his wrath, and to enjoy the perks that come with their fealty to him.
The tyrant’s grip on power is tenuous, and he is willing to do anything to maintain it, even directing the military to attack his own citizens. As the pushback from the majority grows, so do his excesses.
Ultimately, the country might move toward widespread civil unrest. Welcome to Ameriraq.
