History, history, history.

Observed as an apparition conjured in a vacuum, ISIS really looks like such a beast, that no one could have created it or prevented it, right?

It seems like such an alien organization, that it must have always existed, but we know that's not true.

But let's suspend disbelief, cast aside rational thought, grab a gun and do something, because something like this requires direct action before it's too late!

Not really. It's just smoke an mirrors.

The country was deliberately destroyed for no reason. Iraq has been transformed into the mutilated free fire zone it is, because there was a good excuse for it, at the time, and there might never have been a better chance like that, to get away with destroying Iraq like there was at that moment.

So now panic about ISIS, right?

Panic about the bad guys.

Let people initiate opportunistic wars in 2003, so we can panic about the results in 2016?

Doesn't something about that seem a little odd?


To be fair the news media spent an enormous time and effort to legitimize the iraq war. The original "fake news" that really destroyed credibility.


Yah. That's the irony of the whole fake news thing.
