For the past 60 years or so, the American military/industrial complex has needed villains to fight. It requires perpetual war to maintain profit levels.
The CIA controls information fed the public through the mass media. With hatred, bigotry and racism at fever pitch, Americans can shift enemies with ease. They can't find the new foe on a map, but they are sure the US Air Force can bomb him into the Stone Age.
It is no wonder that citizens throughout the world are peace loving. Who wants to be a cinder?
Yet, they permit their leaders to whip up crowds in a nationalistic or religious frenzy against the USA. Presidents such as Ahmadinejad and Chavez travel to the UN to badmouth Emperor Bush. Why don't they dig a hole in the garden, jump in and take cyanide? They would be more productive. At least their bodies would become plant food.
The Americans can be duped into war with anyone. Why do many nations provoke them?
