If you realy HONESTLY believe what you see on the news, here's something to think about...
Iraq:
What is going on and why...
The media tell us we (the Anglo-Americans) have gone to Iraq to overthrow a nasty dictator and build a fair government and decent defences to prevent future invasion.
I find that odd.... WE put Hussain in charge. (yup, dig out yer history books people, we also trained Al Qaida and helped Bin Laden take charge)
When we got to Iraq we found a working dictatorship and defended borders.
What did we do?
Overthrow the working dictatorship and destroy the defences so we could... erm... set up a government and increase the defences!
Nothing to do with oil of course  |
I actually don't believe our news is "approved". If you want a country that does that, look at China.
As for the Iraq situation. Yes, we did put Saddam in charge. We also corrected that mistake.
but, that is starting to wander off topic, so I don't want to go too far down that route.
