    Yeah that’s a fiction we’ve always told ourselves. We’ve been represented by bumbling idiots for very very long time. The more history you study the more scattered and absurd at all things. Basically half of foreign policy from the last 70 years was Henry Kissinger just stumbling from one thing to a next with nothing to guide him accept his own pride and greed. Competence is pretty much a fiction.
