America's ability to get away with murder is nothing short of a miracle. It has an art for fooling many people most of the time.
They said they invaded Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship and establish democracy. A lie. The other “reason” for the invasion was that Saddam had developed weapons of mass destruction. Another lie.
They said there was a link between the terror attacks of Sept 11 in New York and Saddam. A fallacy.
One principal reason for war was that Saddam had to be toppled in order that the US’s objective of preventing the Opec from adopting the euro as the currency standard for oil transactions instead of the dollar.
The reduction of the dollar’s hegemony in the world economy could not be allowed. And for this to be done, the US had to extend its influence and control of Opec. Iraq, as the country with the second-biggest oil reserves, had to be conquered. So, Saddam had to go. And he went.
The power that made him, the US, will never be made to account for making Saddam.
