    All my life, I kept cleaning the mirror, while the dust was actually on my own face.

    Empires collapse when the cost of servicing the debt exceeds what the government spends on the military. The US has reached that point.

    The only people who benefit from these wars is the owners of the arms industry and the oil industry. That’s the entire story.

    Reasons: 1. Israel 2. Oil 3. American “exceptionalism”/manifest destiny 4. The lack of awareness that the rest of the world is not on board with any of the first three reasons.

    &quot;Why America keeps getting bogged down in the Middle East&quot;...??? It is because AIPAC and Mossad control American political figures.

    I knew I could rely on good old Fareed to never mention Israel or the military industrial complex or evangelicals. You can lead a horse to water but you can&apos;t make it drink.
