> McMaster is a miserable lying asshole who did enormous harm, but promoting gay rights (however incompetently) is not "US imperialist foreign policy." I think using fake stories to push various agendas is wrong. Policy makers should make decisions on real data otherwise you end-up with nasty stuff(i.e. civil war). I think the Iraq war(and perhaps other wars) was started using a fake story too. It may worth it to start a war if the crazy guy has weapons of mass destruction but it's not the case anymore if you just want to push your culture and interests into a foreign country. At least the plan should be different(i.e. full colonisation instead of just knocking the current regime). It's all about responsibility and honesty or the lack of them.
