the government uses any and all threats no matter how miniscule to scare the public. the government always wants additional spending and in facts makes up threats just to attack people.
iran has never threatened anyone, they have no capacity to come thousands of miles across oceans. what are they going to do, swim here with rocket launchers on their backs?
iraq never had weapons of mass destruction, yet the propaganda machine kept forcing it down our throats. iran doesn't have a single nuclear weapon or any intentions of getting them, yet again we are hearing it nonstop.
there is only ONE COUNTRY in the middle east with nuclear weapons, and that's israel - for some funny reason they never get mentioned as a threat even though they own all our ports. they also have the #1 lobby in washington and have had dozens of people from aipac arrested for spying and stealing u.s. government secrets. they also have their dual citizens in every major office.
if the head of our homeland security was a dual citizen of iran how would you feel? yet we have been conditioned to not care that he is a dual citizen of israel.
believe me i spent the better part of my life believing the bullshit on the evening news, then i finally woke up and realized everything we are being told is for a reason and it's not to educate or enlighten.
