If Americans only knew what was going on, they wouldn't be so down with this.

Obama had a problem with the Iraq War because he thought it was the wrong war. Not because he though war is wrong.
That's an important difference lost on many of his supporters. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
Americans aren't going to know what's going on, because we're involved in so much bullshit around the world that it's impossible to focus them on anything when these conflicts come up except waving flags and justifying anything on grounds of supporting the troops. What exactly do you expect to happen when a society is built on the idea that its job is to manage the world's conflicts with force?
And you're right about Obama. But at least he got it right on something instead of swallowing the Bush administration's collective load simply because they demanded it. Unfortunately the disease is incredibly deep, and it's not helped by the fact that the left is only slightly less clueless on foreign affairs than the right. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
