After 166 attacks by Iranians or their proxies, the U.S. finally do what they had to do - strike back. I say it’s about time. I think most Americans agree with me.

Thanks for your comment but only the closing sentence even touches on the point of my post.

I guess I thought my response was to the point of your post - “TARGETING IRAN (HERE WE GO AGAIN ... AND AGAIN)” Oops.

"Every single government on earth is run by diabolical liars who use relentless propaganda to manipulate the masses. They love it when we voluntarily restrict ourselves to hive minds." So well said - not an exaggeration, probably an understatement! Thanks Mickey!!!

All wars are Bankers' Wars. Iran is just more grist for the mill. Even almost 20 years later, people still argue for the WMD narrative about Iraq. I'm all for self defense but this is a sick lie. Wait for the next "terrorist attack" to further justify more spent blood and treasure.

Oh yes, heaven forbid another kid comes to the playground with the same toys! Can’t have that! Must provoke him to start something so the toys can be taken away. If we can’t get him riled up then we must lie and say “he started it”.

It’s a sad world when global affairs mimic childish playground bully tactics with grownup toys.

Yet somehow, adults can easily recognize those tactics when they sees school kids trying 'em but become quite gullible when an "official" adult uses the same techniques.

"War is a racket" -- gen smedley butler. And "Duck Soup" is hilarious, and right on target. Except that almost everyone in that movie is smarter and saner than anyone in the US congress. Even Margaret Dumont ;)
