Iraq & Viet Nam: How to Avoid Illegitimate Wars

Iraq is a fact built on lies. Recently declassified facts about the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident -alledged N. Vietnamese firing on US destroyers-shows " deliberately skewd" and omitted facts were used to to bring on the Viet Nam War. Sounds like the military-industrial complex was alive and well in the 1960s as today. Nothing has changed? No. Something has dramatically changed. It took 40 years for top-secret report to be declassified and the " skewed information" to be reported. Converesly the lies of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith and others were exposed in a relative contemporary time frame. The reason for this exposure is the internet and world-wide news sources.

The access to the truth will eventually change the way we self-govern. Thorny political policies at the state level are increasingly left to the voters through a state referendum. What could be more thorny than the question of war or peace? With the truth of issues available through the internet and alternative media, the question of war or peace will eventually be decided more accurately by a majority voting in a NATIONAL REFERENDUM.

We have always voted for the peace candidate in the past but got more war instead. Next time lets not trust the lobbyist-owned politicians but vote for war or peace ourselves.
