Politicians justifying the next war they want to start

[USER=18692]@basilio[/USER], yes it was a long read & highly informative. The takeaway for me was this one passage embedded in the 2003 article.


"Perhaps the most commonly used war pretext device is an apparently unprovoked enemy attack.  Through history, such "attacks" have been deliberately incited, completely fabricated, allowed to occur, or engineered and then blamed on the desired enemy.  The event is then exploited to arouse widespread public sympathy for the victims, to demonise the attackers and to build widespread support for military "retaliation" among the general population, as well as among politicians and other leaders of public opinion".
