Aloha Tam - Governments are inherently evil.  Political affiliations are meaningless.  I have stated before in Civil Beat, handing the nuclear codes to either Ms. Clinton or Mr. Trump is the equivalent of handing a loaded firearm to a four year old.  As one reader pointed out, our crystal balls are certainly clouded to where we cannot foresee what will happen in either of the potential administration.  We cannot lay the blame for what happens on one person or one administration either.  It is a collection of decisions that influence where and what happens.  Unfortunately, the 'why' and the unintended consequences are not thoroughly explored.  I'm sure there are people (civil servants) who argued against involvement in Vietnam (my war), Iraq and Afghanistan but were overruled by political higher-ups and for political convenience.  The United States was made world cop by default after World War Two.  We just need to learn how to do a better job of it if we are going to remain in the job.
