Idiot's Delight
A quick perusal of the official US State Department blog reveals it to be an idiot's delight. No surprise there, but as independent scholars of international relations and human rights have long known, US educational institutions and think tanks continually turn these "experts" out of said ideological factories like cookie-cutters. While it's not surprising to find mindless indoctrination the norm in government and academia, it's still amazing that what passes for national intelligence operates largely on an elementary school level of intellect.
