Brainwashed? Vote.com
I notice vote.com’s latest vote is ‘Do we need the permission of the UN to go attack Saddam’. The ‘Yes’ argument is ‘We have the right to protect ourselves. 9/11 was a declaration of war’.
Okay, fine.
I can buy that 9/11 could be a declaration of war – except that, um, it wasn’t. People like to compare it with Pearl Harbor, but in the case of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese sent a declaration of war a few minutes before the attack.
Even if it had been a declaration of war, popular opinion seems to have it that Al-Quada was responsable for 9/11. No one has ever suggested that Saddam had anything to do with it. So what we’re saying is, ‘Country A attacked us, but they don’t have anything we want. Country B, which didn’t attack us, has a bunch of oil! So obviously even though Country A attacked us, Country B is the one we should attack.’
What is HAPPENING? I know that television is capable of brainwashing people.. but this is downright scary. I look around and there are people drawing incorrect conclusions from insufficient or just plain wrong data at every level of government. There are people lying – outright lying – in the media.
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR A UNPROVOKED WAR FOR A CRIME THAT THE UNITED STATES IS FAR MORE GUILTY OF THAN IRAQ!
This country is falling apart at the seams. First we let a unelected president into office, and now we’re about to go fight a unprovoked war that is blatently just for the economic interests (i.e. oil) of that president. We’re going to start WWIII! WHY?
Back to you..
