Admirably phrased....on both counts.... I'm old enough (barely) to remember the newscasts of the horrors of Vietnam....hence the rioting in the streets about the war. Looks like our leaders have finally learned something over the last 40-odd years :/

Hermann Goering's Quote
On War And The People
3-20-2

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."   --Goering at the Nuremberg Trials

Hard to imagine there is a war going on 1000s of miles away in our (US's) name. Had the media show the true side of war we might not be at war.
