Glenn Greenwald explains how they influence us into wars

Glenn Greenwald: "If you look at the history of American wars, over the last several decades, they're incredibly similar.The way they convince Americans to support US.Involvement in a war is they personalize a particular leader, get us to hate that leader.Or Saddam Hussein in Iraq is a terrible guy.Bashar al Assad in Syria is this tyrannical force.Omar in Afghanistan is somebody, we have to go and take out Gaddafi in Libya.

And our emotions get up and we say, yes,let's go take out these tyrants, and then hundreds of billions of dollars later and lives lost.Polls always show that Americans come to realize that they regard those words as a mistake.And the reason is they realize that no benefits came to the United States and American citizens by virtue of US.Involvement in those words."
