From a third person view, it's kind of impressive how multifaceted it all is. Even the whole "support the troops" thing manages to incorporate blind hero worship and at the same time dehumanize our young men by calling them "troops" and typically picture a silhouette.
This has been the longest continuous state of conflict in our nation's history, and it was all promulgated on the idea that there were nuclear weapons armaments there. It is very well known, and has been, that this was a complete lie. Fuck, even conservative baby boomers hate Dick Cheney and Powell for the abject lies they told.
And yet, its the SAME FUCKING THING happening all over again, and people are actually going to listen to the nuclear threat thing again? It staggers me. I knew people were stupid, but the magnitude of this is baffling. It's the same fucking thing.
