Howeird,

Thanks! I knew I could skip the news reports and wait for an insightful explanation. I think the only thing that lost me was how the Gov't became such a mess when it seemed like the last Coup had good ideas. (Ministers that knew what they were doing). Now that I have your insight, I can look to see what the Pope thinks. From there I'll get the takes of Rumsfeld, Elmo and Air America. (I think only two of those three are still in existence.)
