And some people, like me are just interested in these historical facts that I cited because it is a fascinating history (not some coherent conspiracy), and that it feeds right into the needs of the times. The reason we are in Iraq is due to MASSIVE fundamentalist Christian arrogance in this administration and MASSIVE funding for their propoganda (in the begginning at least - Ruport Murdoch publicly stated that they tried to influence the decision to go into Iraq - which means they deliberately put out propoganda) Now, as more and more of the true history of US comes out, and they realize that the US was founded on Masonic principles of an enlightened society, not Christian dogma about "the only true religion", etc., the power of the fanatics will begin to wane.
