Just an exotic and mysterious place
   Another reminder of the vital difference between a non-interventionist country and an empire.
In a properly modular mechanism or program or world, each module or gearbox or country 
doesn't need to know what the other modules are doing.  Each module is free to perform its own duty with full attention.  
In a globalized mechanism or program or world, each part 
needs to keep track of the other parts, because the other parts can 
intrude or 
invade on this part's variables or shafts or life.  The invading part needs to know about the invaded parts so it can slaughter the victims with maximum efficiency.

An ad from a Los Angeles radio mag in 1924, during 
non-interventionist Harding's term.
I happened to see it at the same moment when I was listening to 
Tulsi and Joe Rogan discussing our recent fake killing of our fake ISIS leader al-Baghdadi.

Dance to the Thief of Bagdad!
Bagdad wasn't a place we were obliterating, or the locative surname of a fake "terrorist" we were fake killing.  It wasn't a place where we had killed a competent secular government that offered tolerance to Christians, and replaced it with chaos and genocide.  It wasn't a source of refugees who were weaponized by Soros to destroy America and Europe.
Bagdad was just part of the Mysterious Orient.  We could impute glamor and romance to its exotic arts and dances.  We were probably wrong, but it 
DIDN'T FUCKING MATTER IF WE WERE WRONG.
