Americans have been experts in making excuses for wars for over a century and are also experts in retreats from wars! And, as it stands, the world buys the American narrative.
Sir, unfortunately the world (comprised of muslim countries lately) have NO CHOICE because they are being told ARE YOU WITH US or AGAINST US and IF against US then we all have seen the before and after pics of Iraq, Syria and Libya and Pakistan would NOT be any different IF Pakistan did not have Nuclear Weapons so basically as I states previously in other threads also that "might is always right" (jiski laathi uski bhens) NOT always factually of course ...
As for the 'Average Joe': You really underestimate the power of the public opinion in America. Even for the Iraq War, despite a long time of 'manufacturing consent', the support to attack Iraq in America was barely around 50%.
Public in US believes what it is fed repeatedly by MSM (unfortunately) and in case of Iraq was a "blatant lie" of having WMD...and that is one of the biggest hurdle for people to make an informed decision...
And Hillary lost to Obama for nomination because of her vote for the Iraq War. So, yes, the public opinion probably matters THE MOST in America compared with ANY other country of the world especially when it comes to foreign entanglements.
Sir, again when it comes to Wars historically speaking there always exist a bipartisan support in Congress irrespective of what gallop poll numbers shows...
Also, you probably have more knowledge of Politics in US so tell me how much money you need to run a successful election campaign ...? and who fund those campaigns so their interest comes first then the public ...
Knowledge is power.
I concur.
