British Public Hearings On Iraq War

The British are holding public hearings on their country's involvement in the Iraq war.

Right off the bat, on the very first day, information on the Bush administration's call for the Iraq war is coming out.

We know all of these things. We know that the neocons came into power with war in Iraq on their minds. We know that this interest was strongly present before 9-11. And we know that 9-11 became the excuse for going into Iraq.

What's interesting is that the USA needs historic myths. Many factions are very determined to turn spin lies into the reality of our nation's history. The main stream media contributes to this and there is element of the hard right which enjoys lying to the public.

So I would suspect that even at this late date in 2009, a significant percentage of people in the USA believe Iraq caused 9-11.

At least the British are taking on the action of understanding their own loss of reason.
