His belief in America prevented him from doing what was necessary from day one - putting the war criminals on trial.

Now he is trapped as he has allowed the neo-cons to surround him and poison every attempt to return to a more sane foreign policy approach.

The media represents six corporations - all with varying interests in the business of war. Additionally, they are so obsessed with ratings and Citizens' United money that they refuse to deal with facts for fear of upsetting ReTHUGs and war mongers.

I fail to understand how any country can illegally invade and occupy another country, let alone a region and not expect blow back. I fail to understand why there is no discussion in the media of what we in the West have done to Iraq, Libya and now Syria (we don't even mention Afghanistan these days).

It seems to me that all this shite has one aim - to make Jeb Bush look like a solution which is beyond an inversion of reality since his brother created most of this mess.

The only good news for my generation is that we are in the last quarter of our lives. I am so fed up of all the lies and spin. Truth has been the major casualty since 9/11. Imagine there are folks in the media trying to compare last week's slaughter with 9/11. That's the last straw for me.

The pursuit of greed and power have completely destroyed America.
