roughly 20% of the world’s population. They had colonies on every habitable continent of the world, wielded a navy unmatched in strength and controlled or influenced the foreign policy of nearly every country on the planet.

Today, England has become a timid lapdog meekly following the orders of Israel, a country of of only 8,000 square miles and less than 8 million people. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

The chain of command has been clearly laid out in this article from the Guardian titled “UK defence chiefs prepare for conflict with Iran over nuclear programme“, more tellingly subtitled “Ministry of Defence reluctantly planning for being drawn into a US-Israeli conflict with Iran over Tehran’s possible nuclear arms.” The orders start from Israel, pass through the US, and ultimately land in London.

The highest offices of foreign policy are in a state of “anxiety” over whether or not Israel will attack Iran:

The risk assessment by the Foreign Office and MI6 reflects anxiety in Whitehall about the prospect of an attack from Israel, which has longstanding fears over Tehran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.

England is outright afraid of what Israel might do, and why is that? Why wouldn’t England just stay on the side lines and let the two quarreling countries duke it out among themselves? The answer is because England takes it’s orders directly from the United States, and has no self determination of its own:

Although senior officers and defence officials admit privately they have “no appetite” for involvement in any campaign, and believe it can be avoided, they are aware of the political realities. The UK and the US have stated explicitly that they do not want Iran to have a nuclear bomb. “If America wants British help, it is difficult to imagine David Cameron saying ‘no’,” said one source.

So the English citizens who are in charge of English policy and supposedly tasked with protecting English interests are strongly opposed to involvement in a military campaign against Iran, but unfortunately the choice is not theirs! The control over the English military has been handed to the Americans, who David Cameron meekly obeys without question.

And the American President takes his orders directly from Israel, or more aptly from AIPAC as exposed by this choice bit:

“The Americans might hang out the Israelis to dry after the election, but not before,” said a senior Whitehall source. “Obama would have to support Israel if there was an attack before November.”

The American President buy cialis online is forced to support Israel no matter what in an election year, the only logical explanation is that without Israeli support the President will not be re-elected. Only after securing a second term without any chance to run again would the American President be brave enough to disagree with his Israeli masters.

What a sad state of affairs when the leaders of two powerful nations like the United States and the United Kingdom quake in fear over the orders of their masters in a tiny country in the Middle East. What a sorry day for national sovereignty when the most powerful government officials and politicians, whose sole duty it is to protect and serve the citizens of their own country, cower in apprehension at their next set of marching orders, passed down from a foreign power.

The Guardian has spoken to a number of Foreign Office and military officials in recent months, and all of them have expressed dread at the thought of a conflict with Iran.

One spoke of fear every time Obama and Cameron are left to discuss the issue and what may have been agreed. “We have our hearts in our mouth,” said the source.

Thus ends the British Empire, timidly curled up on a couch in Tel Aviv, pissing itself with every knock at the door.

Syrian rebels get influx of arms with gulf neighbors’ money, U.S. coordination

Syrian rebels battling the regime of President Bashar al-Assad have begun receiving significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, an effort paid for by Persian Gulf nations and coordinated in part by the United States, according to opposition activists and U.S. and foreign officials.

The US is funding and coordinating the arming of violent rebel groups who have been terrorizing the country. The rebel forces who just weeks ago were out of ammunition are now swimming in new supplies and heavy weaponry.

Material is being stockpiled in Damascus, in Idlib near the Turkish border and in Zabadani on the Lebanese border. Opposition activists who two months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said this week that the flow of weapons — most still bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military — has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.

Saudi Arabia is buying over $60 billion dollars worth of US weapons. I suspect the US has some influence on where Saudi Arabian weapons are ending up and who is using them. Qatar was the country pivotal in the invasion of Libya, destruction of the country and overthrow of it’s government – all of which was also planned and coordinated by the US through NATO.

The foreign military commander’s appearance in Tripoli, which one person familiar with the visit said caught Libya’s interim leaders by surprise, is testament to Qatar’s key role in helping to bring down Libya’s strongman. Qatar provided anti-Gadhafi rebels with what Libyan officials now estimate are tens of millions of dollars in aid, military training and more than 20,000 tons of weapons. Qatar’s involvement in the battle to oust Col. Gadhafi was supported by U.S. and Western allies, as well

as many Libyans themselves.

The mass media is in full propaganda swing spinning any story of violence coming out of the country against the Syrian government, which seems to make them complicit in a US (Western) backed plot to overthrow the government of Syria and install a puppet regime in its place. Consider this recent story – 2 bombs exploded at a Syrian military intelligence building, destroying a large portion of the building and killing dozens of people. Without any clue or proof of who was behind the bombing the Atlantic Wire writes this article:

Did Syria Destroy Its Own Intelligence Agency?

They accuse the Syrian government of bombing themselves, even though there is an ongoing war being fought against the government by foreign backed rebels. What evidence is provided for this theory?

The question for President Bashar al-Assad’s regime is whether the opposition forces are technically capable of carrying out such an attack. The question for the opposition forces is whether the Syrian regime is actually this desperate to discredit the opposition.

First, yes the opposition forces are technically capable of carrying out such an attack because they are being armed and supported by some of the most powerful national armies on the planet. To even write that sentence as a journalist covering the conflict you have to knowingly ignore obvious facts which disprove your wild theory.

Second, as a “counter point” to the question of who did it, the author again attacks the Syrian government cheap cialis online by speculating they may be “desperate” enough to attack themselves without stating the more obvious theory – that the opposition forces had a motive to attack a military building in this ongoing conflict.

You can find dozens of these fraudulent stories across every major media organization spinning every explosion, every death and every bullet fired back against the Syrian government and in defense of the armed rebels that are at the root of the conflict.

Between the military aid and the media propaganda campaign it is rather obvious that the US is again pursuing an aggressive foreign policy of warmongering based on overthrowing governments unfriendly to Western financial interests by fomenting armed conflict and using organizations like NATO to take a direct military role in regime change under the guise of protecting civilian lives.

Color me cynical but as soon as I read the headline I knew I would find out that the FBI had set up the whole thing, and I wasn’t let down:

The men were arrested Monday evening in an FBI sting, but posed no real danger to the public because the explosives were inert and were controlled by an undercover FBI agent, the bureau said in a statement.

How many bomb plots are we going to read about where the FBI was behind the whole thing? Do people really think the FBI just gets lucky every time and these earnest terrorists accidentally tried to buy explosives from the wrong person?

Consider what the article admits was the original plan of this group:

At first, officials said, the men had buy cialis considered using smoke grenades to distract local law enforcement in an effort to “topple financial institution signs atop high rise buildings.”

Illegal, but still not quite as violent as blowing up a bridge. In fact it sounds like a Project Mayhem prank out of Fight Club.

Now lets mix in a COINTELPRO style mole to shake things up:

“Clearly this was a sting operation,” said Fran Townsend, a CNN National Security contributor, describing the use of at least one covert agent in the operation.

Suddenly the plot moves from knocking over some signs to using military explosives to demolish a structure with the very real potential of killing people. Luckily for all involved their contact for buying the explosives is another FBI agent. So you have one FBI agent orchestrating canadian pharmacy the plot, and he links them to another FBI agent willing to sell them the explosives.

I’m so glad the FBI keeps saving us from FBI plots to blow things up with FBI procured explosives, it proves that the Mass Media is correct and there are terrorists everywhere, and if the FBI wasn’t stopping them from buying FBI explosives we might have a country full of FBI led terrorist cells killing people!

“Syrian security forces kill at least 12 in rocket attack“, reads the headline of the article. Now without reading the rest of the article, and assuming falsely that the reporter is acting with journalistic integrity, one would assume that there is proof or admission from the Syrian government that buy cialis online military forces acting under government orders fired rockets which killed at least 12 people. After all there is no question mark, there is no quotation marks around key pieces of information which is a modern day journalistic trick to print hearsay and rumor as fact. Just cold hard facts that a rocket attack did indeed take place.

When you read the article things quickly become much less clear. The first sentence of the article begins with a bold statement of truth:

A rocket attack by Syrian security forces has killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens more in Syria’s central city of Hama,

Yet you need to finish the sentence to get anywhere near the actual story:

the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Who is the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights”? Wikipedia reveals:

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is a UK-based group opposed to the rule of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

The organisation claims to use contacts in Syria[citation needed] to gather information on events in the 2011 Syrian Uprising, including the deaths of protesters and army defectors (which it calls “martyrs”)[1] and loyalist soldiers,[2] although SOHR has indicated that they consider reporting on the deaths of government loyalists to be “not in their interest”.

So this is a political opposition group, led by a foreign nation, with the express purpose of overthrowing the current government. Could there perhaps be a conflict of interest that a UK based newspaper that has a solid history of anti-Syrian government reporting is repeating news stories with no independent verification fed to them by people with an agenda to discredit the Syrian government?

Things become even less clear when the article slips this innocent line in:

An activist who asked not to be named said the blast may have been an explosion from inside the building.

Wait, how can they know it was a rocket attack if people aren’t even sure where the explosion came from?

Lets take another random newspaper article on this same event, from the LA Times. The title reads “Blast kills dozens in Syrian city“. So now it isn’t a verified rocket attack but more correctly labeled a “blast” whose cause has not been determined yet. Also, we are given two sides to the story instead of just one side like in the Guardian article:

It is still unclear what caused the explosion, which destroyed several residential buildings. Some activist groups have said it was a rocket attack or shelling by regime forces in the neighborhood of Mashaa Al-Tayyar.

Syrian state media said a “terrorist group” accidentally set off an explosive in a house used to make bombs, killing 16 people and injuring 12.

Here are the truths that exist: An explosion occurred in Syria. It killed many people and destroyed at least one building. Two opposing groups are blaming each other for the destruction.

That is all you can factually report at this time, yet the Guardian article, without any proof and solely on the viagra pills hearsay of a biased opposition group with an agenda to discredit the government, has reported what caused the explosion and who was behind it. How many people will just read the headline and mentally file away this “factual” information, that the Syrian government fired rockets on this area and killed many people, when that truth cannot be verified at this time.

This is how the news lies to you every day. They take a kernel of truth and spin it. They shape opinions, they remold current events into a form that supports their political agenda. And they pass it all off as honest, unbiased journalism.

“The average homosexual, if there be such, is promiscuous,” Wallace said in the piece. “He is not interested or capable of a lasting relationship like that of a heterosexual marriage. His sex life, buy viagra online his love life, consists of a series of one-chance encounters at the clubs and bars he inhabits. And even on the streets of the city—the pick-up, the one night stand, these are characteristics of the homosexual relationship.”

Those are the words of respected journalist Mike Wallace. His recent death has prompted a review of his life’s work, including “The Homosexuals”. This documentary is considered so terribly out of date with modern sensibilities that it was buried from public view until he died.

Here is more from the Wikipedia background story on this documentary:

[A]fter we finished and the camera was turned off, Mike Wallace sat down with me and talked for about half an hour. He said, “You know, you answered all of my questions capably, but I have a feeling that you don’t really believe that homosexuality is as acceptable as you make it sound.”

canadian pharmacy

I asked him why he would say that. “Because,” he said, “in your heart I think you know it’s wrong.”

The “scientific sources” used for this program also seemed to have some biased views on the subject material:

Also interviewed were psychiatrist Charles Socarides, who strongly advocated the position that homosexuality is a mental disorder, and fellow psychiatrist Irving Bieber, who shared Socarides’ opinion of homosexuality as pathology.

The point here is that we have a respected news journalist and a couple of professional scientists who, because of their personal bias and discrimination, were feeding the American public completely erroneous information in the guise of reporting. In reality it was just biased opinion and slander.

What “news” and information is the Media feeding us today that we will look back on and cringe about? What untruths are born out of bias and hatred but peddled as fact and reality? What spin and opinion is being spoon fed to a society stuck in cruse control mode when it comes to critical thinking about current events?

There are too many people that take the news at face value, that consume the bias and spin and digest it as scientific fact. We can see from this example that nothing is further from the truth. When you stop thinking for yourself you let other people dictate what you can know and are allowed to believe. At that point you are no longer a person but instead a puppet on strings.

Originally from the Midwest, the soldier, now 38, joined the military right after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks out

online canadian pharmacy

of patriotism, Browne described.

From a story about the U.S. soldier(s?) that went off base one night and systematically cornered and executed 16 Afghanistan civilians, mostly women and children.

Why is this side comment on a terribly tragic story so funny? Well it firmly implants the idea that this soldier joined the military on some personal mission to avenge the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. The irony is that he did what he set out to do, albeit under the most dishonorable and perverse of circumstances, but still you cannot argue that the end result was the same.

Irate or upset about what he perceived as an unprovoked attack on innocent American civilians he joined the military. I cannot believe that he had any other motive in mind for doing so other than the desire to inflict mortal and violent revenge upon the same people he perceived as committing this offense. After all the military has one goal in mind – to kill or neutralize their enemies. No matter what purpose they are deployed for their basic training remains the same, and the training of every common infantry soldier is to bear arms against the enemy and conquer through violence and death those that oppose them.

So here we have a true American hero, incensed by the great injustice he watched play out over and over again at the tender and impressionable age of 22, he voluntarily signs his life away for the chance to be deployed to some barren desert of a country where he can finally fight back against that invisible enemy his 24 hour news network has been terrifying him with.

But he didn’t end up in Afghanistan originally, instead he landed in Iraq where he spent three tours of duty pacifying an unruly and unappreciative population that desperately wanted the U.S. out. There he was injured twice by freedom fighters resisting the invasion and occupation of a foreign army. I’m sure he wasn’t feeling the love and appreciation of the local population.

Then after deciding he’s had enough of this nation building exercise he gets deployed finally to Afghanistan where he “had initially been told they wouldn’t have to go”. It seems after watching his friend get his let blown off by an equally acquiescing and friendly populace he had enough. Taking matters in his own hands it was finally time to exact revenge against those evil Muslims directly responsible for the 9/11 attacks, his injuries in Iraq, and his friends injuries in Afghanistan. All with one stone, if that stone was a premeditated night time attack on women and children sleeping in their homes.

The News will try to make you believe that this soldier was crazy, suffering from mental illness, or that he was drunk. I don’t believe any of it. I believe this was a man of singular purpose, with the focus and willpower to do what others won’t. He watched those towers fall killing 3,000+ Americans, he vowed his revenge and joined the military to carry it out. Finally after 10 years, 4 tours of duty, 2 injuries and one friend’s leg blown off, he was able to achieve it. He marched out of that base a proud, red blooded american and lined up those women and children in the middle of the night and shot them at point blank range in a fury of blood and cialis online screams.

He finally achieved what he set out to do. What do we call this brave man? Certainly not a terrorist, he is a Christian after all. Not mentally ill, I’m sure the military’s insurance lawyers will prove that. Call him what I choose to call him.

An American Hero.

I’ve seen this viagra kind of Liberal Sleepwalk before. When you are drugged out on lies and misinformation suddenly the world takes on a very black-and-white view where we are the “good guys” destined to protect the poor and innocent from the evil machinations of the “bad guys”, usually a “regime” of some sorts. You can tell someone is the bad guy when a news article refers to them as a “regime” instead of a “government”. The same people who abhor the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan exhibited this same sleep walk in the build up to those wars, hungrily chowing down on lies about weapons of mass destruction, global terror conspiracies and dreams of democracy.

They were the same people that applauded a UN resolution on Libya that amounted to nothing more than a free-pass for NATO to bomb and destroy a mostly defenseless country so that a small band of Western-Armed rebels could seize control of the country through a violent insurrection.

The main problem with this liberal mindset is an inability to understand that the news they ingest is laced with a biased agenda and in many cases, based on lies. They don’t grasp that organizations like NPR and CNN have a vested interest in turning the public against the government of Syria, of sympathizing with another small band of western-armed violent rebels. They’ve been caught up in the Western Propaganda machine.

It is times like these when critical thinking becomes so important. NPR might tell you where and how the Syrian army is fighting insurgents, but it won’t tell you why. It won’t spend much time investigating where these rebels are getting their weapons, what crimes or acts of violence they may be committing, or who may be secretly supporting and directing them in the background.

They certainly don’t want you to know that the CIA is using taxpayer money to hire mercenaries working with Israel and Qatar to arm the “rebels” and foment unrest. This kind of useful information might shed light on why there is so much violence happening in Syria, and the government’s interest to stop

the insurgents quickly before NATO or the UN has a chance to justify a horrific bombing campaign across the entire country in the name of “protecting” the Syrian people.

I also don’t believe they care about the people of Syria, or they would think twice before proscribing Western intervention to solve their problems. The Guardian UK has a very black-and-white image too of what “saftey” and “protection” entails for the citizens of Syria. It looks a lot like this. For people who love peace so much Liberals sure are eager to inflict the worst and most brutal forms of violence on whomever NPR sets their targets on.

1 : most sacred or holy : inviolable
2 : treated as if holy : immune from criticism or violation

US President Barack Obama on Thursday called US support for Israel “sacrosanct” and vowed to ensure the Jewish state retains its “military superiority.”

I guess Obama is feeling the need to appeal to a higher power since he’s been under the gun about trying to provide full-spectrum healthcare to women regardless of religious beliefs. It does seem odd though that he’d be so defensive about offering birth control to american citizens yet so offensive about promising to murder and terrorize almost 80 million people based on the whims of a small country in the Middle East that excludes and oppresses people based on their religious beliefs.

Still though, I find his zealous defense of a foreign country rather odd given his recent behavior towards those that live in our own country.

He has authorized the military to indefinitely detain citizens, counter to the word and spirit of the United States constitution.

He has used public funds to pay for the losses of private corporations with his bank bailout plan.

He has expanded the war in Afghanistan and initiated a new war in Libya, while still threatening war in Syria and Iran.

Obama is actively assaulting the civil liberties of American Citizens, taking their tax money to pay for war with Israel, and gladly sacrificing both American lives and the lives of innocent people in Libya, Syria and Iran to carry out some kind of holy crusade against Islam in the name of Israel. Why then is his support for the racist government of Israel, which is based upon bias against both race and religion, “sacrosanct”, while his care for the

citizens of his own country amounts to as much

as the dirt his knees tread upon as he crawls to AIPAC to take his next orders from Netanyahu.

Clear thinking, logical people might question why our president is so keen to drop to his knees and suckle at the teat of a foreign country while so brazenly shitting over the rights and ideals of the citizens of his own nation. Such questioning would be considered unpatriotic in today’s warped political environment though. It’s clear the only way Obama is going to get that POTU office seat again is if he shills, and shills hard, for the most powerful lobbyist group in america. Therefor he will invoke the holy spirit as he proclaims his unwavering, illogical and most important of all, hallowed fealty towards a foreign government thousands of miles away desperate to push us into any number of wars against other nations based on their religious beliefs.

Hey, wasn’t this country (supposedly) founded (on top of Indian bodies) to escape religious persecution?

The taxpayer funded government organization which claims to be “Preserving our Freedoms” is actually dismantling them. Secret documents now reveal that the DHS lied to Congress about spying on American citizens. DHS is paying $11.4 million of taxpayer money to have a private company monitor American citizens for dissent.

About 300 pages of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit and published by EPIC in January revealed that analysts were specifically told to scour the Internet and social networks like Facebook and Twitter in search of “any media reports that reflect adversely on the U.S. Government,” and to zero in on discussions criticizing government policies and proposals.

The scope of this monitoring goes far beyond information on actual terrorist threats. They are not looking for terrorist cells. They are not looking for evidence of plots to commit violent acts. They are keeping track of anyone that criticizes or disagrees with the government under any circumstance.

Documents published by EPIC show that analysts were instructed to watch for “both positive and negative reports” about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the strangely wide-ranging “organizations outside of DHS.” Other “items of interest” include discussions about immigration policies, drug policies, cyber security matters, and U.S. foreign policy.

I for one am not comfortable that the organization which operates Detainment Camps and is constantly expanding its powers to illegally detain and search citizens at any time is now keeping a virtual “shit list” of citizens that disagree with their policies.

DHS is supposed to make this country safer but this bloated money sink for taxpayer dollars and is quickly turning into an uncontrollable para-military police force. They have placed themselves in a position to supersede state police authority, expanded their powers to detain and search any person at any time, and are now conducting domestic spy and surveillance programs to root out dissent.

I guess in a way DHS

is successfully carrying out their mission. With the ever-present threat of an American Gestapo breathing down your neck, spying on you and searching you whenever they feel like it, who needs to worry about terrorism?

This is the future of any country unlucky enough to be the target of American “liberation” or NATO led “humanitarian” military campaigns:

Footage of the scene showed bloodied victims walking away from several damaged shopfronts and charred vehicles.

At least eight more bombs exploded during the morning across Baghdad, killing 18 more people. And on opposite

cialis 20mg

sides of the capital, gunmen with silenced pistols killed eight policemen at security checkpoints, officials said. The casualties were confirmed by Baghdad hospital officials.

Nationwide, security forces appeared to be targeted in at least 14 separate attacks. Officials in Baquba, 35 miles (60km) north-east of the capital, said a suicide bomber blew up his car outside a police station near a market. Two people were killed and eight wounded.

Lawlessness, terrorism and mass murder is the legacy of the invasion of Iraq. This seems so far away from Bush’s stated purpose for invading a sovereign nation, killing thousands of citizens and plundering their natural resources. Remember he said the purpose of the Iraq invasion was to “disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein’s support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people.” Let’s break that down:

1. Weapons of Mass Destruction was a lie, a criminally crafted story fabricated to push a paranoid and afraid country into invading and murdering people that posed no threat to them. There is no dispute that the British Dossiers, the Yellow Cake scam and Colin Powell’s pathetic presentation to the UN were nothing but perverse fantasies.

2. Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, there is no question about that. Suggesting he was a supporter of terrorism though is a flat out lie. There has never been any proof he conspired with militant, religious terrorist groups nor did he fund or harbor them. A totalitarian despot maintains his position by keeping a monopoly on terror and violence – harboring or colluding with “terrorists” would only weaken his position. In addition he ran a secular government that is the antithesis to a fundamental, religious society that terrorist groups like Al Qaeda strive to establish.

3. And finally to “Free the Iraqi People”. This is the darkest joke of all. Almost 10 years after the US led invasion how are the people of Iraq now living?

Or how about this article from three months ago:

Iraq war: Mission failed

The Iraqi people, the neoconservative policymakers of the Bush administration seem to have hoped, would welcome Americans as liberators and allow their country to be turned into another South Korea or Okinawa—a permanent staging ground for American hegemony in the Middle East.

Instead, eight years after the war began, America’s military is so loathed in Iraq that it is being expelled by the Iraqi government. America’s soldiers are leaving because Iraq refused to negotiate a status of forces agreement, which exempts American soldiers from local laws. The fact that Iraq refuses to exempt U.S. soldiers from prosecution under its own laws demonstrates the extent to which the misconduct of the U.S. military and its mercenary

generic viagra online

contractors alienated the Iraqi population…

the seemingly senseless Iraq war horrified most people in other countries, including America’s closest allies like Britain, whose government cooperated with the U.S. in spite of the opposition of much of the British public.

The photos depicting the sadistic tortures inflicted on Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers at Abu Ghraib have not only stained America’s reputation as a force for good in the world, but also joined the graphic catalog of modern horrors. It was bad enough that the “ticking bomb” scenario was used to justify the routine practice of torture by the Bush administration in the case of suspected al-Qaida operatives. This was a predictable if deplorable reaction to 9/11. But the victims of torture in Abu Ghraib were mere insurgents who had nothing to do with planning or implementing terrorist attacks on America. In torturing prisoners in Iraq, in kicking down doors and terrorizing civilians, and in gunning down civilians at checkpoints the U.S. military was acting like a premodern colonial power.

The Blackwater Massacre is one of the reasons that Americans are being kicked out of Iraq. On Sept. 16, 2007, mercenaries hired by the Blackwater corporation to provide security for U.S. military and diplomatic personnel gunned down more than a dozen Iraqis, including women and children, in Baghdad’s Nisour Square, as they fired at a car falsely suspected of being a threat.

Iraq is still burning, and this is the future for any country unlucky enough to fall victim to one of the U.S.’s “humanitarian” missions to bring “democracy” and “freedom” to an otherwise peaceful people. It’s happening in Afghanistan, it’s happening in Libya and Palestine, and now the chicken hawks and mass media are hungrily crowing for us to bring this same horror to Syria and Iran.
