SO MANY, and maybe 2% are "allowed" to make a dent in the USA populace's collective consciousness? hmmmmmmmm

i don't understand what you mean.

the light show in the video seems aimed at feeding more hysteria. "watch the world bleed redddd!" with drama music.

1.3 million die in traffic accidents every year. and something between 20 to 50 million injured. try making a light show of that. or a light show of hunger and malnutrition.

here's a reasonable politician being derided for not pandering to neocon hysteria:

some good quotes:

Even when discussing terrorism, Sanders can take on a populist tone.

In response to a questioner here, he singled out two of the wealthiest countries in the Middle East that he said need to be more involved in the fight against terrorism.

“Saudi Arabia, which borders on where ISIS is, has the third-largest military budget in the world,” Sanders said. “Maybe instead of just using their defense budget to protect the royal family, maybe they want to use some of that to fight ISIS.”

“Yeah!” an audience member shouted out in approval from the overflow crowd that surrounded him on all four sides.

Sanders turned next to the “tiny, tiny” country of Qatar, which he noted has been selected to hold soccer’s World Cup in 2022.

“Turns out, they have the highest per-capita income in the world,” Sanders said. “Turns out that they are preparing for the World Cup, the soccer tournament, some years out, and what are they going to spend? Two hundred billion dollars on facilities, et cetera, to host the World Cup. How about spending a few billion fighting ISIS?”

During interviews at his events, Sanders’s devotees, for the most part, said they think his laserlike focus on domestic issues is appropriate, although some said they found it puzzling that he didn’t bring up an issue that has been dominating the news.

“I feel like, because it’s so recent and brought up so frequently now, he should,” said Katie Miller, 16, a high school student from Bluffton, S.C. “Maybe he knew people would ask.”

Sarah Todd, a homemaker and Democratic activist who came to see Sanders on Monday night in Atlanta, echoed many of the candidate’s other fans when she said that his focus is understandable.

“Truthfully, I think America needs to get its act together before it tells other countries what to do,” Todd said as she left the Fox Theatre, where Sanders received a raucous reception from a crowd of more than 5,000.
