Some Light Viewing on American Empire

First we’ll watch “A People’s History of American Empire” from Howard Zinn.
And now that we know about the American Empire and how it continues to this day, the following revelation should come as no surprise. George W. Bush and Tony Blair knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq months before the invasion so they attempted to find other ways of justifying the already planned conquest.
We all know that there were no WMDs found. We know that this war was not in retaliation for the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. Is it time for the people of this country to demand some accountability for the death and destruction that this government has unleashed upon the people of Iraq? Some accountability for the thousands of Americans and thousands more Iraqis killed in this war?
For this, Keith Olbermann named George W. Bush his worst person in the world. I must agree.
