bush senior and to a bigger extent bush jr only thought of one thing
their friends and themselvesn
it was one of the biggest cash grabbs in history
they just needed a villain and saddam fit the bill
As a country we all share the blame for all that wrongful invasion
if we had better education about the world we would not have gotten duped into it
most of the social studies curriculum and world history courses in public schools have been a joke, our perception of the world was left mostly to coaches and Hollywood
If you didnt actively take it upon yourself to learn about china, africa, middle east, south asia, south america, you were left with a narrow view of the world in which you suspect everyone, as if they are martians from some other planet

when I was in 7th grade I had my grades lowered because I questioned the world history teachers syllabus which basically consisted of Europe pre world war 1, Europe during world war 1, and world war 2.
so yea, maybe we should all blame ourselves for not demanding better
or better yet, slap a teacher dayyyyyyyyyy
