Between Democrats and Republicans a thin line exist.
Another example, along with another example of the greed and in morality that has affected American politics to the core. The tragic lingering effects of European and American colonialism are still evident today in the Third World where dictators still rule because of Anglo intervention and neglect. A disturbing trend is being reported where former high level American appointed and elected officials ( perhaps inspired by America's quasi private militia and intelligence agency, Black Water International) are becoming high paid consultants to former and current dictators with records of prolific human rights abuses.
On this list is Lanny Davis, a former senior advisor for Bill Clinton. Davis became the international PR person for Ivory Coast's "former president" Laurent Gbabgo, right after he lost the presidential election but decided to remain in power by taking over Ivory Coast's banks and abducting, torturing and killing his opponents. While the U.N., The United State's of America, and international human rights organizations decried the rampant human rights violations under Gbadgo, Davis declared that Gbabgo "opposes violence". Davis not only attempted to market his dictator on American radio and TV, but also attempted to set up phone conversations between Gbabgo and senior white house officials and congressional members. These efforts came to naught, as Gbadgo increased the violence of his regime. Finally Davis quit after also being ridiculed by members of the media.
