a fun game to play is to describe George Washington's presidency to neocons as if he were a present-day South American and then ask them if they'd invade and topple his regime
decorated general serves as executive of shaky young regime. elected by procedures designed wholly by his supporters, some of whom call for his coronation, with very limited popular input and no formal opposition. in his second term, he crushes a citizens uprising, killing four.
many have become refugees after suffering violent indignities at the hands of the revolutionaries. their radical, violent ideology has already begun to spread to the developed world. the regime, including the general himself, practice slavery, contrary to most developed nations.
oh, and the general's regime controls a vast wealth of natural resources, which his opponents are committed to sharing with the world through a policy of free trade; the general and his closest supporters appear committed to closing off that trade to the rest of the world.
