Reply #9: I don't consider the average citizen complicit when honest information [View All]

needs to be sought out. There was very little honest info prior to the war available in mainstream media. People had the shit scared out of them on 9/11. Even on DU where people could read from a variety of sources, there was great debate (although thankfully most people here were against.)

We have a very serious problem with the 4th estate in this country...they failed us.

These people were proud based on what they knew at the time. They learned of the deceit the hard way.

You won't win anyone but those who already agreed with you on that one.

If a person KNEW it was all lies and supported their kid in going...I would be on the same page as you..but there was LOTS of conflicting info out there...but amazingly only that which seemed to support the war and the television ratings it would bring made it onto the nightly news.
