There's a 'real' America and a 'fake' America?
OK, I yield. Trying to defend it in my head right now and I can't come up with anything good.
Something along the lines of:
Real America - People that aren't terribly affected by much of anything in the Middle East.
Fake America - People that play games with numbers or policies in one of two big cities off the Atlantic coast, and pretend they have control over the rest of the world.
It still doesn't change my point though.
AgitProp agenda #1 comes out, and the crowd doesn't rabblerabblerabble enough for a new war. So, AgitProp agenda #2 comes out, to repeal the negative effects that AgitProp agenda #1 created if we didn't respond with dramatic force. After all, a Nation cannot stand around and just let an Ambassador be broom-raped and not retaliate at all. So, #2 expunges that idea from the public arena.
And the authors of both agendas live in two cities off the Atlantic coast.
