But SamF as a member of the armed service on active duty and following orders it is not murder.

From what I have heard recently bullseyebarb the bulk of the new recruits to the USA armed forces are men and women at the bottom of the ladder with little or no hope of attaining a decent life.

I can tell you that they are most displeased by the way in which the media and members of a certain party have chosen to describe their service in Iraq and Afghanistan and the fact that the good things they have accomplished rarely get reported upon.

So the truth hurts then?

The reason why the Iraq war was executed by George Bush bullseyebarb was to rid Iraq of Weapons of Mass Destruction on the flimsiest of fabricated evidence and he managed to drag other countries into the ILLEGAL war. No WMD’s have ever been found, although there were some chemical weapons but no meaningful ways of launching them from a distance and in any case those were destroyed before the invasion.

Terrible as a tragedy that 9/11 was, it was used as a revenge excuse to attack Iraq and as a side issue gain control of their oil. They underestimated the resolve of the Iraqis in the same way that they underestimated the resolve of the Afghans and latterly the Vietnamese.

The USA is the self proclaimed policeman of the world whose only purpose is to grab the world’s wealth for itself or at least under its control and impose its style of democracy. Indeed many people take the view and have done since WWII that the greatest threat to world peace has never been the Soviet Union or China but the USA.

The USA puts self interest above and beyond all else under the guise of helping others.

If Hitler had not declared war on the USA and attacked American merchant shipping the States would not have entered the European theatre. If Japan had not blasted Pearl Harbour the USA would have sat back and got rich selling and leasing arms to the Allies. In fact at the wars end the only country in the world that was twice as rich as at the start was the USA. The rest were near bankrupt if not actually bankrupt.

Attaboy Less.
