They have a habit of playing controvertial docmentaries.
Last eveningthey played the one "No End in Sight" about the Iraq war and all the lies that were told to get teh U.S. into this thing.
They also went into all the greed corruption and how much money was actually wasted.
I highly recomend you watch it, Dem, Rep, Green, No party, your blood will boil.
My son told me about it and I thought oh well another propoganda film,
no way, they use facts, eye witness', Iraqi interviews and news stories that never made it to the U.S. mainstream media.
Again if you can catch it on TV or I know you can get it through Netflix, but I don't know if the local video stores will have it - YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS.

Ok, so I suppose with that being said, let's bring out how Woodrow Wilson secretly had our U-boat fleet off our east coast, claimed they were German and sunk the Lusitania saying the Germans did it just so we could get involved in WWI. Oh, and the fact that we only protected those countries that owed us a huge financial debt at the time(i.e. France & Britain). As for WWII, though it was seen as a "European conflict", remember that FDR was blood thirsty and actually taunted the Japanese into bombing Pearl Harbor. Actually, it was the secret bombings/murders by the US against Japan ordered by FDR that taunted them. All in all, we're just big bullies, huh? Yeah. If you search enough you will find even more further-fetched conspiracy theories about all wars and all politicians.
