For many analysts, there is a goal for the recent sharpening of this dialogue. They argue that the electoral rhetoric used by Republicans and Democrats is aimed at diverting public attention from the severe structural failures of the American economic system and their impact on the social condition of the population. The central theme for the coming campaign seems thus to have been decided upon consensually among the contenders. Foreign policy and issues specifically concerning countries many Americans would have difficulty locating on a map will be the focus of the campaigns. However, this is nothing new to American politics. The theme will unsurprisingly be Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Al Qaida, and ISIS. The consensus requires that contestants not mention that the explosive situation in this part of the world is essentially of the making of the United States itself.
