Powerful words. Nonetheless, what needs to be remembered is that this war was not fought for the national security of Americans or the betterment of Iraqis. These were lies easily and uncritically digested by a fully brainwashed American public. In a twisted way, it is a tribute to the propaganda capabilities of the mainstream media that has bogged Americans down into futile liberal vs. conservative debate while the larger picture is ignored. The mainstream media serves corporate and state interests and the only way the different propaganda outlets differ is by their degree of loyalty to the state (i.e. FOX News = complete loyalty; NBC = less loyalty).

Whether “liberal” or “conservative”, these oulets are equally complicit in the coverup of the major, unfathomable crimes of this and prior administrations. These crimes will be revealed in due course and Americans will be reeling in shock when this occurs. But this painful time will pass and better days will emerge.
