Our motives have some good in them.

?

The propaganda wing of the military industrial complex has done a bang-up job.

What was the ''good'' motive behind invading Iraq? They sold us on the Weapons of Mass Destructions Iraq had, then pivoted to some stupid made up humanitarian mission. Iraqis still live awfully. It was just the end product of a grudge held against someone with tons of oil.

What was the ''good'' motive behind overthrowing Qaddafi while leaving Syria be? Which country has oil, and which doesn't?

And the ''good'' motive behind invading Iran? Just taking out a foe who wishes to diminish our influence in a region with lots of oil.

With Afghanistan, there was no reason to invade it, and not much ''good'' has come of it. They have a government that is in office due to fraud, they continue to live through a violent civil war, and we found Bin Laden in a different country.

The country we killed Bin Laden in, we didn't have to invade.

Don't waste your time Jacob. It's not going to change until we lose, and badly. You would think most people would have learned from the last time we heard this propaganda, but no:
