When the President told me why we had to invade Iraq, I had his back up until it turned out that that reason turned out to be fictitious.
I argued in his defense to my other friends. I told them that sometimes, extreme measures are needed.
Now it turns out that was bogus.
Now to the rest of the world, it looks like there is the chance that we will just come up with a reason if we don't have one.
Whether they actually manufactured the false data, or were merely acting in good faith on something they believed to be true, that's bad to me.
What is it with us white people? We come to America, claim the natives are "savages" and then kill a lot of them off and take their land.
To dehumanize other groups of people like that is just a tad dismissive to me.
As far as their propensity to kill other people in vicious ways, they certainly aren't cornering the market in that area.
Try looking at this from the other side. You say that we can't fight them fair because they won't fight fair. Well what if that's the reason they aren't fighting fair either? Is this justification only good for us?
