Yeah, I totally agree. Remember that time Bush gassed thousands of people to death and then executed hundreds of women and children for the heck of it?

Oh wait...that didn't happen.

Right, but Waco did happen, and 17 children got gassed, and helicopters made swiss cheese out of the building. I guess that isn't bad though because Saddam is the REAL bad guy. As long as there's someone worse for the masses to focus on, that will be the case. All sides involved in a war are bad, get real. Not the soldiers, because they only know what they are told, but the leaders are orchestrating world disasters, and to call Bush The Good Guy is as ridiculous as calling Saddam The Good Guy.

A belief system will edit out what it does not want to hear, and I guess as long as there's someone worse, you won't care about anything else.

edit: PS: Abuse of Iraqi prisoners, militarized-police "training" in the suburban-US (hey, train in the landscape you're gonna be fighting in!), torture stories of Guantanemo Bay, police deliberately breaking peoples' bones with nunchucks (absolutely ILLEGAL weapon for ANYONE to use, along with extreme force), taking people by the thousands to old bus depots with unsafe conditions (oil on the floor, asbestos). That last one signifies a concentration camp BTW. Oh but I guess it's just a bunch of unrelated incidents. FOCUS ON SADDAM!!! It couldn't POSSIBLY be part of the agenda.

Wake up.

Wait... hang on, what's happening in Uzbekistan, the country America relies on as a 'stepping stone' to the Middle East? An ally in the fight against tyranny? Media blackout, government torture, genocide recently too...

Point: it doesn't matter what a country does when it is useful to America.

The "USA" is merely a tool to drain the world of resources. When 20% of the planet is using 80% of the resources, something is wrong. Any logic from any standpoint should tell us this.
