“The Bush administration’s lie that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq possessed ‘weapons of mass destruction’ that somehow threatened Americans was quickly proven to be a lie, but it was too late. As Randolph Bourne wrote, once a war is started most Americans become slavishly obedient to the warfare state and tend to believe all of its lies, no matter how spectacular they may be. Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are bound to repeat its mistakes. Americans are about to repeat the same mistake of squandering their blood and treasure on another military adventure (in Syria) that has nothing whatsoever to do with defending American freedom – or anyone else’s.”
