    But that boost came because people were still feeling the need for revenge for 9/11 three years earlier. Also there was a hell of a lot of fear mongering and out right lies about Iraq that was being reported as facts from all the media at the time. So the American citizens had been primed for war and most wanted it.

      There is always a lot of fear mongering and outright lies about everywhere the US doesn’t like. Congress just passed a $1.6 billion of taxpayer money bill to push anti-China propaganda. I bet you didn’t read about that via, your unbiased media

      Are you paying attention to the media lately? Its filled with outright lies, warmongering, and bloodthirst.

      Just like the lead up to the Iraq war.
