Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Tell Us Why We're At War, Candidates When I was a kid, successive presidents told us we had to fight in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, because if we didn't fight them over there, we'd have to fight them on the beaches of California. We believed. It was a lie. I was a teenager during the Cold War, several presidents told us we needed to create massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons, garrison the world, maybe invade Cuba, fight covert wars and use the CIA to overthrow democratically elected governments and replace them with dictators, or the Russians would destroy us. We believed. It was a lie. When I was in college our president told us that we needed to fight in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua or the Sandinistas would come to the United States. He told us Managua was closer to Washington DC than LA was. He told us we needed to fight in Lebanon, Grenada, and Libya to protect ourselves. We believed. It was a lie. When I was a little older our president told us how evil Saddam Hussein was, how his soldiers bayoneted babies in Kuwait. He told us Saddam was a threat to America. He told us we needed to invade Panama to oust a dictator to protect America. We believed. It was a lie. Another president told us we had to fight terrorists in Somalia, as well as bomb Iraq, to protect ourselves. We believed. It was a lie. The one after him told us that because a bunch of Saudis from a group loosely tied to Afghanistan attacked us on 9/11, we needed to occupy that country and destroy the Taliban, who had not attacked us, for our own safety. The Taliban are still there 15 years later, and so is the American army. We believed. It was a lie. After that the same President told us Saddam Hussein threatened every one of our children with weapons of mass destruction, that the smoking gun would be a mushroom cloud, that Saddam was in league with al Qaeda. We believed. It was a lie. In 2011 the president and his secretary of state, now running for president herself, told us we needed regime change in Libya, to protect us from an evil dictator. We believed. It was a lie......... Poster Comment: The War doesn't exist as an "issue" anymore -- in pundits or politicians dialectics or even in most people's. This most heinous of gew rackets rages in the background of life as if 300000000 amerikans have simply accepted it as normal. Ron Paul has gotten a little obnoxious in recent years daring to assert that King Trump is less than perfect in every way, but he's one of the last voices calling for sanity on it e.g. via this article from his Institute.

Beginning with Iraq and Afghanistan, including 9/11, we know the real reason for US wars has been to prevent Arabs from taking back lands stolen from Palestinians by Israeli squatters; all done under a Shylockian contract wherein the Israeli lobby, Sayanim, and their Jew media associates see to it that only Israel-supporting candidates are elected to Congress. But what are the real (never-officilly-mentioned-as-with-current-wars) reasons for America's earlier wars?
