Would you die for someone else's child?
Think very carefully about your answer. Because most people are too chickenshit to say "yes."
Whoever said the war was just for a "cause" didn't think very carefully, either. It is now another myth that has become reality.
Repeat it over and over and pretty soon you can acclimate to anything and embrace it as truth. That's how people work. It's much easier than thinking, that. Just repeat it over and over...
The war may seem to be about politics/oil/economics/whatever when you are sitting in your lovely air-conditioned living room. In war-torn countries, they see it another way. Some people want to be free of oppression. They are willing to die for it. They are grateful for the help. America used to be like that, a long time ago.
