When you justify war to the people who are paying for it, you've got to operate a big deception in order to stop the taxpayers, who are funding this whole thing from actually taking a stand against their government and say "no more killing, not with my tax dollars!"
And the irony is that not only are the taxpayers funding the almost 2decade long war responsible for the killing of countless masses of innocent people who have never been capable of fighting back.
How much has the war cost?
"According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money."
The war profiteers are the same people who started the war (over 3000 people who died on 9/11 which we all know was orchestrated by the US government) therefore just recycling your tax dollars from your pocket into the pockets of the big corporations. Every day this is allowed to continue the hole being dug by the American people grows deeper. The interest on war has to be covered from somewhere and debt by nature binds people to it.
If $2.4trillion was used to aid the unemployment problem and fund education and healthcare instead of war millions of people would still have their lives and what cpuld have been different under more accountable circunstances in more trustworthy hands.
Probably the worst part is that young Americans, people's sons and daughters, believe they are defending their nation just to go fight and die in a foreign country. I take nothing away from the honour, valour and bravery of every U.S. soldier and their efforts will be remembered.
I lament for the Iraqi people who have had spent decades under the oppression of a dictator just to be occupied by a war that has destroyed their lives and country.
Have you ever wondered what will happen if the US immediately siezed war and pull out from Iraq - absolutely nothing! But the greedy war monster will never stop unless we cut off its funding and to do that we must take a second to see if we are accountable...
This has been the most senseless war and it has amounted to genocide, maybe it's time we stop turning a blind eye!
