It is one thing to use a false flag in the country you want to attack, but it’s a whole other story when you're power trppin’ so hard that your eyes turn red and devil horns poke out of your skull while you step up a fake attack to kill some innocent citizens from your own country just so you can go to war with another country. Killing your citizens on purpose then blaming it on another nation just so you can have a reason to drop thousands of bombs on them is just plain insanity. Who are these people?
I am not sure where the distinction comes from. I understand Westerners consider it acceptable to murder and plunder "others", but not "one's own", why do you think they consider everyone in the country "their own"? Why should they? They treat everyone that isn't one of them the same way as Westerners treat the rest of the world: that it is OK to lie to, cheat, murder or plunder for the benefit of the privileged.

I get that feeling sometimes too. Drop weapons are a good example.

I cannot wait for the time when everyone in the world knows the truth that 9/11 was caused by our own damn government, and the people controlling the government.
Really? This is going to cause turmoil?

For the greater of whose good? Protect the world from insane people? How can you get more insane than the people planning this crap? All of this show what a bunch of loones have managed to get in control of the US government. Maybe you think its ok to lie, steal, murder, torture, do terrible experiments on american people for instance the MK Ultra scandal. Or radiate childrens brains the list goes on and on. It might be to your good but it definitely isn't good for the average American people.
No it is not good for the average american person, that is what I mean wehn I say think outside of the usa. There is a whole world out there. If a few of use have to suffer for the mass of the world to be better then so be it. You do not even stop to think about the rest of the world, the majority of the people on earth. If our gov is sooooo bad then imagine how bad the people they are trying to get rid of. The bad guys are a millino times worse and you do not want to be in a coutry they controll. Get out of your close minded idea that the usa is the world and what happens here is the only thing that matters. Ther are alot worse things out there, we started our stuff off of there results. They were doing horrible things to innocents way before any kind of us gov or even the usa existed. Again yeah it is for the greater good, the world thats the greater good. And yeah I would still feel the same if it was my family they used. Do you even know how many people are starving to death right now because of there bad guys in power? But you do not need to worry about that huh? You got a roof, power, food, and internet. So you can whine about the small slight things here and ignore the rest of the worlds plight. USA best place in the world at the best time. Love it or leave it. If we do not help the world who will? But you go ahead and jsut worry about what our gov does, and ignore the horrible people in other countries doing worse.

:O from me.
This is the moment or there will never happen anything to make trhis world a better place.
Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.

The newscasters seem mostly concerned about American lives lost in international incidents.
Right after the earthquake in Japan, I overheard a coworker who was watching the news say, "Who cares about Japan? What's going to happen to California?"
However, the US government has committed atrocities against American citizens. Yes, we think it's unacceptable. It's also out of our hands. These are the reasons the American public would rather not know about it. Really, if the people put 2 and 2 together, they get mad and go back to their regularly scheduled programming.

Sorry, I wasn't really trying to say either was okay because really stepping up a false flag in, let's say, Germany just so the U.S. and NATO can pin something on Iran isn't legit either. That is wrong too. I was just trying to point out that when we sacrifice our own to have a reason to kill on the other side of the world is just bloody insane.
It's like they are all saying, "What's a 1000 Americans when we could take the entire country of Iran and improve the future lives of all 300 million Americans and their oil needs?" Yeah, but you killed the people you are supposed to be protecting so you could kill more people...
