Wasn’t one of the major reasons for attacking Iraq because they had all these hidden Weapons of Mass Destruction, and it was our God-given duty to go find them? And now, weeks into the war, we’ve still found absolutely no evidence that any of these weapons actually exist?
Apparently that doesn’t matter.
A growing majority of Americans believe the war in Iraq is justified even if the United States does not find weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, public optimism about the progress of the fighting has surged as recent gains on the battlefield have eased fears that the allies will become bogged down in a long and costly war, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
As long as we’re winning, then anything’s justified. The ends justify the means — or even the motives — and the ends, of course, are determined by the propaganda we’re fed by our government and the media.
