[Time for change]

Americans in general have a very naive view of war and their country's role in wars in its more than two centuries of history. Many of them believe that any war that their country is involved in is warranted, and it is their duty as patriotic citizens to support it. It's called "American exceptionalism", and it's one of the most toxic, dangerous philosophies in the world.

Our pResident deserves the lion's share of the blame for our current disastrous war, but he could not have pulled it off without such a naive and fool hearty citizenry.
