Before the invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq occurred,
the mainstream corporate-owned media in this country consistently and
insistently beat the drum for war. In story after story, they made the
case (wrongly) that both of those wars were necessary for the defense of
the United States. They even ignored the offer by the Taliban
government to turn Osama bin Laden over to the international court at
The Hague, to be put on trial for the 9/11 attack on America.
We now know that those invasions were a big mistake. They were attempts
at regime-change, and had nothing to do with defending the American
homeland. And they were both massive failures. We ousted corrupt and
dictatorial regimes, and replaced them with similar regimes that were
even more corrupt.
