Man, fuck war. I really wonder how much longer the majority of humans are going to keep swallowing the lines of bullshit from the few that somehow, war is a necessity. War is not all that hard to avoid, but I guess warfare is both financially and politically profitable.

Fuck everything about this. It is - literally - insane.

> Strikingly, no concern was voiced over the glaringly obvious fact that no official reason was ever offered for going to war -- no reason, that is, that could not be instantly refuted by a literate teenager.

Seemingly, with the national debt soaring through the roof, the US still is able to get people to buy more bonds and get others to lend them more money, even if there's no realistic way the debt would be repaid. Maybe this has something to do with their ability to launch an airstrike on virtually any place on earth in no more than an hour.

What do you mean? The washingtonpost said that there was irrefutable evidence that hussein had WMDs and was working with al qaeda.

The same washingtonpost that recently got caught lying to the american people about syrian gas attacks and tried to dupe us into invading another country.

Next war that the lying media and politicians push, they and/or their sons should be on the frontlines and then the poor and downtrodden should be behind them.

I for one was glad to see this WaPo article linked. Good reminder.
