can't we all just get along?

[GOTU62]

I agree. Israel as a political, governmental body is wicked and wretched. Jews are not. Zionists have a particular ideology. The power elite, that handful of troublemakers, is directing the play by plays and instigating, and funding and arming, all sides of every conflict. Do we agree on that?

[Songsmirth]

@GOTU62 I agree with you to an extent. We tried to do everything we could to stop this and still the politicians got their way. We voted, we demonstrated and yet they found loop holes. We voted in a new President who said he'd get us out of them and yet we are still there! Still our dear ones are dying. I believed Obama and he's let us down. We are children in his eyes. How can this happen? It proves we aren't the leaders. . politicians are who are wrapped up power we don't have.

@evilsqurrel420 "Follow the money" I'm ashambed to say. . . Dick Chenny is respondsible for horror of the war we have gotten involved in. My mother use to say, "a person can only eat steak three times a day." But some of these ultra rich people crave power above everything else. To the detrament of our people's lives.  They live in another world and somehow live with themselves sacrificing lives that don't touch their own. History proves this and it still goes on without our approval.

true. but as far as our history of foreign policy in the middle east goes, israel has had our balls in her purse since we created the monster. we'd always been messing with iran regardless of israel, but overall we'd had good relations with the arabs.

[evilsqurrel420]

people are too caught up calling each other "liberal" or "conservative". If people really cared about their country they would stop with the labeling and start with the investigation. Truth is what matters. GOTU62 is right, we need to absorb knowledge, but at the same time you should realize who benefits. "Who benefits" is usually who's guilty. Do you actually think that record amounts of profits are made coincidentally? Wikipedia > Al Gore, Dick Chenny just as examples.

[GOTU62]

Involved, yes. Entirely responsible - no, that's ludicrous. Americans are responsible for what has been done in our names. We've allowed our government to do every nasty, disgusting and vile thing its done. We funded other people's slaughter and waste-laying of their land so defense contractors and investment bankers and politicians can reap profits and governments gain presence in regions and exploit resources. The upper crust elite (1%) are the master manipulators. We must wake up now.

[GOTU62]

Same reason as why Afghanistan, why Iraq, why Yemen, why Iran, why North Korea, why Germany, why Japan, and so on across time.

[GOTU62]

I know, right?! Even when they admit they've lied, or when evidence contradicts statements, or even as history repeats and tyranny explodes -- this time on a global scale.
