It isn’t strange that the US lies its way into wars. Many nations do this, the US is not unique. What is a bit odd is that the American people fall for this crap over and over, and tens of millions still think that the word of the lying media is gold.

I don’t get it. Is America suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Do we enjoy being made to look like suckers, fools and idiots?
The Gulf of Tonkin was in 1964. The Iraq War was in 2003. Over almost 40 years, Americans haven’t learned a damn thing. Truly pitiful. Now we are doing it again, and American fools are falling for the lies one more time. What are Americans but congenital rubes?
