Before the events of 9/11, I knew that the Vietnam War was based on a lie that cost millions of innocent civilian lives, 58,220 American lives and countless wounded; but I still held out a belief of the good war like WWII. Later I learned that WWII and WWI were both based on lies too. I then read Smedley Butler’s ‘War is a Racket’ and listened to James Perloff’s excellent lecture on the major wars of the 20th Century and discovered that the United States was not about spreading democracy and freedom, but about a hidden force of economic and geopolitical interests who orchestrated these wars for their own personal agendas.
