The face on the left is the man who was used to lead us into war.
His words, explaining why he lied in order to justify an invasion by the US against Iraq (read the link to the story titled: "How US was duped by Iraqi fantasist looking to topple Saddam"):
"Believe me, there was no other way to bring about freedom to Iraq. There were no other possibilities."
Tell that to the million dead and injured and the 300 million Americans forced to pay $3 trillion for it all (check our the article linked or search the book "The $3 trillion war") even though the war was going to pay for itself, or so we were told (google that one, you'll be shocked to see all the people who said this! Or just read my assessment from 2005, laying out much of the ugly truth).

No other way to get freedom for your country? This makes me think of an inspiring story about these 13 colonies awhile ago who were being taxed unfairly and rebelled against the biggest empire in the world. They won their war, that they fought themselves, and they started a pretty cool country, mostly on their own. But then again why let our own people die when we could get someone else to come in and do it for us?
