It' useful for getting false info, then using that false info for justification for more war

It' useful for generating hate and hardening you enemy, thus generating more (generations) of war

It's useful for gaining (false) justification and hence funding for the 'security' industry, 'prison' industry, 'war' industry , etc.

It's useful for getting our troops killed, justifying more war.

It's useful for psychopaths to find their true calling torturing people. Side benefit, it's useful for *creating* psychopaths.

It's useful for making us weak cowards, pissing ourselves with fear at every shadow and boogieman.

It's a useful 'rallying point' purity test - "you're either with us or with the terrorists - why do you hate the US"?


Yeah. Sometimes it's *really* useful.
