See, after world war two, we decided to start getting into wars just because, and not because we were drawn into them.
maybe there's a reason none of the wars/conflicts have been successful since. Sure, GW1 was somewhat successful, but if you call 970 sorties flow out to blow up 33 bridges successful.....
not to mention, GW1 didn't really clean the place up. Foreshadowing?
yea ... we needed another good war since Korea was a Stalemate ... "Lets bomb our own ship and blame the Vietnamese!! Hell!! Killing a communist is great for America!"
We see where that got us. Not to mention Iran/Iraq war, the good ass raping we did to South America. As long as US Corporations can get money from the situation, it doesnt matter who we help. Remember this?:
You HONESTLY think Bush wanted to free the Iraqi people from a dictator? That seems to be what else you guys think is a just cause for the war since we cant find those pesky WMD. No. He doesnt give a shit. It's not our problem as much as I hate to say it. If it were our problem, we would've attacked China, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Liberia, etc. We've made it 10 times worse and killed more Iraqis than Saddam has in his whole reign. True he was an asshole, but so are half the "regimes" and governments we've been supporting for the last half-century. *cough*oil*cough*
