Just out of curiosity, i would like to hear your input on these because i assume you, War ferret, must have a low paying job, IF any at all, blames the government for your problems, still lives with parents, must not be a very productive member of society.
I'm the Shepherd, i work for the government lol, i seem to not see any of the problems you see.
Btw:
we produce the most oil in the world, soo, we aren't attacking little Iraq for oil, therefore, ya, well you get it

Let me give you a map, a list of the times i will be at each spot, and tell you i hid your bags of crack at each location with your name on it, let me know if u get caught. But hey im not saying they didn't have the stuff, quite a possibility really, but considering you just assume everything must be some sort of government conspiracy really tells the person you are, so i need not really try and explain anything to you, because to you, i'm the enemy, and some apparent blind sheep, who never saw the light like you.
"The fifth president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein[1], was internationally known for his use of chemical weapons in the 1980s against Iranian and Kurdish civilians during and after the Iran–Iraq War. In the 1980s he pursued an extensive biological weapons program and a nuclear weapons program, though no nuclear bomb was built.
After the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War, the United Nations located and destroyed large quantities of Iraqi chemical weapons and related equipment and materials throughout the early 1990s, with varying degrees of Iraqi cooperation and obstruction.[2] In response to diminishing Iraqi cooperation with UNSCOM, the United States called for withdrawal of all UN and IAEA inspectors in 1998, resulting in Operation Desert Fox."

When a crime is committed whether it be to you, someone else, or the government, people want justice. They want the person who committed the act held responsible for his actions, what did you expect to happen when you kill thousands of people? If the government did not act over what had happened then they would have committed political suicide, you would have lost the support of the people believing in the governments ability, and that was not going to happen. So war, was inevitable, and anyone in the way of it was cannon fodder, sorry Afghanistan, sorry Iraq, should have played nicer, they knew what was coming, they knew the inevitable. Either way, did we leave the place any better then we found it? idk, we will see with time, hopefully 50 years from now, they will be productive countries, which benefit the world. Either way, patriotism or not, the need to act was there, and they acted upon it, it didn't take Patriots to pull the trigger, just people with intelligence, which isn't you.
So in turn, being Enlightened, doesn't make you intelligent.
A lot of things have changed since the industrial revolution. There's one "invention" in particular, you should know about. It's called credit/debt money. If you don't know what it is, you should google it and ask yourself, if you can compare today's capitalism with "capitalism" before the 20th century. In short, our money by itself is worthless today, because you can't convert it to gold anymore. It is just a sort of debt agreement and can be printed with no limits. Money always enters the system as debt. For every credit there is the obligation to pay interest rates that can only be paid with more debt, if you look at the whole system. What do you get? Exponentially growing debt and interest claims that accumulate in the public (that's us) balances - modern slavery.
edit: forgot to mention, the ones who always profit (although it actually goes without saying) are the privately owned banks. Because they don't just gamble like mad on the free market, they also give out the credits and keep the interest. They get it as a credit from the central banks (almost out of thin air) at low interests and pass it on at a high interests. And if you can't pay, they get your house or whatever securities you have. I know, it's common knowledge - but I wouldn't be surprised if there were people here who don't know...
yes, im going to continue discrediting you, because, well you're a dumbass. Please go be enlightened with your other buds in real life, because on here, you are a fucktard.
