40. Predictable Consequences, not an excuse
The claim that our invasion and destruction of Iraq was intended to keep 'the war over there' has been exposed for the perfidious lie that it always was.

Before we get too outraged over this act of terrorism we need to reflect on the fact that we are responsible for the death of around 100,000 Iraqis, that just last week in Afghanistan we deliberately attacked civilians killing 17 of them, an act so clearly intended to do the damage it did that even the Cabal-friendly Afghani government lodged a public complaint. We cannot swagger around the globe flexing our vast military might, crushing all we view as 'the enemy' and causing vast 'collateral damage' without consequence.

The Cabal will of course use this dreadful incident to justify its current policies and to demand even more of the same. Will we, as we did four years ago, allow fear and bigotry to direct our response? Will we again say nothing, suppress dissent, ignore the obvious, and allow our own forces of darkness to escalate the violence?

Have we learned anything?
