[quote=walterwhite]I don’t think there are 2 sides to every story; like the Iraq war; what’s the story to justify our actions? I haven’t heard it lately.[/quote]
It is an interesting question. The endless stream of narratives morphed over time until we were left with a big question mark and a dirty feeling. Kind of like a mass-psychological gang rape. Many people obviously still feel abused. Just watching “real time” history unfold with competing narratives should make you understand how difficult it is to get the whole picture of events that happened 70 years ago.
It’s pretty obvious they had their eyes on Iraq since the mid 90s. Interestingly, in a frontline episode, discussing the run up to war, they would have went to Iraq first if it was not for Colin Powell arguing it would not look good. Wolfowitz, Cheney and Rumsfeld were arguing hard for just bypassing Afghanistan and going right to Iraq.
