I've noticed alot of similarities throughout wars and how money seems to get into alot of it. And the sad part is that most Americans don't seem to care because we have more important things to do like watch tv, movies, or other types of entertainment. Which is EXACTLY what the government wants from us. They want us to be distracted by entertainment so they can take over other things and slowly take our rights from us. Like the homeland security? which is the right to search your house without a warrent and you don't even have to be home. They can also arrest you and even torture you all because they're suspicious that you might be a terrorist. Thats sounds so American doesn't it? Many of us didn't even talk about the war in the middle east until the 9 11 attack which is still known to be plotted. And I kind of agree because many of us didn't want nothing to do with the war and after that attack you see people supporting and trying to donate money. And honestly, what is the purpose of it?.. there is none. This is just a never ending war so they can take the money out of our pockets. Just like they did with Vietnam, that's why it lasted so long. I think that all of this is rediculous and people need to learn to stand up and stop believing everything you're told. We need to have a mind of our own and if we stop being brainwashed and start thinking like actual human beings, we can stop all of this. And until we do, nothing is going to get any better. Until our power of love overcomes the love of power we will not be at peace.
