"One of the most horrible features of war is that all the
war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from
people who are not fighting."
-George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia,
1938
Sadly, the majority, a corpulent bunch of wallymart loving McSupersizemyass types who voted for George Bush twice, will fall for the usual lies. But what should we expect from people who are basically skin sacks covering digested donut material with IQ's slightly lower than a can of spray cheese.
OK, one more time. Let's remember history and review the facts.
Remember.
The US has 737 military bases around the world and continues to build even more.
Remember.
The US, despite its present dire economic if not nearly bankrupt situation, continues to spend as much on weapons and military as the rest of the world combined.
Remember.
The US has been in a perpetual state of war for the last 7 decades. Since WWII, America has invaded Iraq (twice), Haiti, Panama, Grenada, Laos, Cambodia, North Korea, Viet Nam, Nicaragua, Lebanon, Somalia, Dominican Republic and a bunch of other Latin American countries whose names escape me right now. The US has bombed civilian populations in Sudan, Iraq, Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon (actually, naval shelling), North Vietnam, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. I probably missed a few.
Remember.
The US has had direct involvement in coups, against democratically elected governments in Iran (1953), Guatemala, Venezuela, Haiti and Chile (just to name a few) research it for yourselves.
Iran's first attempt at democracy in 1953 was toppled by freedom loving America because Iran's democratically elected (but socialist leaning Mossadegh government) had this crazy idea that Iran's resources should benefit Iranians as opposed to the corporate oil interests in the US and Britain.
Remember.
