9. True, but then over 70% of Americans did support the Iraq War

and look how many on this forum alone, support the drone wars. I am not part of that 'we' either, but when something is done in our name, we get the blame.

I definitely agree with you regarding no effort being put into making peace. It's hard work and takes a lot more intelligence to do. It would have to be as profitable as war to even be considered until we can elect people who are smarter and wiser than those we have been electing so far. So long as we the people don't do the work of electing people like that, we are part of the problem imo.
