in its entirity.
The whole campaign to invade was psy-ops on a massive scale and the media was in there, sleeves rolled up, doing what the junta wanted to get its war on.
Sadly, too much of the US population does not consider democracy to ba a participatory thing and had other issues on its collective mind... off to the mall... pResident said I should shop, tra-la tra-la....
The people had become way too complacent and so evil men came to power. The people did not want to be bothered with protecting freedom, they thought that was for 'the troops' to do somewhere far away. Too many just don't do their duty as citizens. They just go along with what they are told. If there are problems, somebody will take care of it.
In a working democracy, SOMEBODY is each and every one of us. Evidently, nobody teaches civics anymore.
