Comment on Does it seem like US presidents just throw a dart on a spinning globe and say he lets start fucking with this or that country? Used to be arbitrary, now it seems the GOV no longer lie just do.

  It was like 22 years ago that it came to light that the US and Britain lied about Iraq stockpiling WMD so they could invade Iraq. The US had been trying to find an excuse for a little while. It is maddening that GW Bush was able to rehab his image to folksy grandpa from blood thirsty war criminal.

  It sure felt like there was more resistance from the public for that than for what Trump is doing now. There is a reason the education system has been allowed to go to shit and people are kept distracted with the red vs blue instead of seeing what every US administration has done on behalf of the american people.
