The largest anti-war demonstration ever on this planet happened before the US decided that what the fuck, it'd destroy Iraq.

If you want to understand why it happened anyway, regardless of moral consciousness, take a look at who profited.
That has nothing to do with "hindsight" or "foresight", it has to do with analysis of fact.
That brings it back to the only point I care to make.
