American lawmakers are suing Barack Obama for violating the constitution by going too far in Libya. They say he's breached the time limit for mobilising the military abroad without asking permission from Congress. RT's roving reporter 'The Resident', took to New York's sidewalks to hear what people there think of sending more troops into more countries' problems.

1. She asks why people are not standing up to the government here, like they

are in other countries:

Obviously, because the tanks are in the streets in OTHER countries, not in this one. Our all-volunteer wars are largely out-of-sight, out-of-mind, just as they were designed to be.

2. Americans do not want to believe the U.S. engages in imperialism,

even a lot of duers do not want to believe it.

4. By hiding the truth of this war, it is more palatable to those who

have "no skin in the game". why else does the media refrain from showing the caskets that show up during the cover of night....

5. Man, that is really sad.

It does prove that Goebels was right about propaganda though.

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine? lol lol right.
