re: #219 Old Liberal

Thanks for engaging on this. It’s a nightmare because I remember pleading with a friend that there were no WMDs in Iraq, that regime change would cost hundreds of thousands of lives all in service of a lie. And he said our government wouldn’t lie and we would be treated as liberators. And so I feel like I have to do it again, to plead that our government is evil and lies in clever ways big and small, and even though it doesn’t matter what I say because they will do what they want, and even though ranting on LGF is not going to change anything I would feel shitty about myself if I didn’t try. Done.

I think anyone that lived through times of Nixon through Reagan to the Bushes can claim a need to be questioning, critical and even cynical about some of this country’s foreign exploits.
