This is true. Although headhunter seems to have an idea that the path we're following is based on lies and isn't looking pretty, he seems pretty keen on following his path.
the deception often lies in what we are told we're fighting for.
When republicans stand up and say, "we're fighting for the rights of the iraqis, to rid the world od saddam and his evil WMDs", they're completely full of shit.
we're fighting to control middle eastern oil reserve distribution for the next 60 years.
Any blood spilled, well, essentially it is used to oil the cogs in the global machine known as the US Supoerpower.
But, if you sleep better calling it "protecting us from the boogeyman", by all means!
