guess that's fine. Iike in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo,...

we all know the Somalians are a threat to the US way over in Africa. better to fight them there not here, right?




Nothing to see here.

Be nice to America, or we'll bring democracy to your country (with bombs, invasions, occupations, regime changes, sanctions...)

Read some history. Start with the Shah of Iran. Or go back a little further and see what the Brits did in the middle east.

we can go back to the Maine in Havana Harbor (officially it struck a mine; though US blamed Spain) incident that started the Spanish-American War; or the sinking of the Lusitania (which was later confirmed to be carrying arms to Britain).

Why or how, truth and facts don't really matter. The ends always justify the means. If the US wants a war, it will find a way to justify it, and convince the serfs to support it.

Same as always. Governments have been using lies and fabricaions to justify wars for millennia.

The world knows, NEVER turn your back on us as it'll be the last thing you do, even if you have served us. As we say, "God is on our side so we're always the righteous" We don't have a good record, do we.
