I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. – M. Cole
with the noose tightening around Trump regarding his contacts with Russia, and his nepotism, it is no surprise that the sabres are rattling about North Korea. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/04/politics/white-house-north-korea-china/index.html It’s a common tactic, a failing administration saying “Look, a bunny!” to get the media focus from them.
Also no surprise that Trump’s support of Assad in Syria has resulting in gassing civilians. It’s what you get for supporting ignorance and dictators.

“In that all evidence so far revealed supports that the Bush/Cheney administration intentionally lied to involve the US into the Iraq War, there should be an investgation into who was responsible for the useless deaths of thousands of Americans, Iraqis and citizens of other nations.

Here in the States, Rachel Maddow has done a documentary based on the book “Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War” Links for the documentary here with a good review and more of the video here if you can’t see the first.
I can remember protesting this nonsense and being considered less than an American for questioning the drumbeat to war. Hindsight is always 20/20 but if we refuse to look then we’ll screw up again.
Now if we can just get those damned drones under control. War by remote control may feel like war without repercussions but it sure as hell isn’t.
