possibly the best school house rock homage ever created.  from the creator, ” while critics decry the united states’ current brand of military and economic imperialism as dangerously unprecedented, great powers have been throwing their weight around like schoolyard bullies since st. augustine’s time. this playful but pointed cartoon shows that while uncle sam has been an especially bad apple of late, he’s following a pattern of bad behavior which goes back decades”. no excuse of course, but very well done. i esspecially appreciate the bit about “freedom fighters.” check it out.
