For example, China DOES have WMD's - no need for lies. Are we invading them next? No, because Washington DC would be a radioactive hole as a result.

Countries now NEED WMD's just to keep the US bullying at bay.

Why did we pick on Iraq for a mere suspicion of WMDs. No country has a right to weapons, only we do? That's idiotic. In retrospect they wish they did have real WMDs so they could make the neocons in DC think twice before moving in the tanks.

Since when invasions of other countries became our national strategy? The entire "we don't like their leaders and we'll invade them" premise boggles my mind.

Only as a last resort if the other two strategies don't work
