I don't know about the US, where more than 60% supported the Iraq war. In the UK there actually was a substantial popular majority against the war. But that just goes to show the power of the government and the media to take the country to war even if the people don't want it.
Where was the sovereignty of the British people when they were taken into war against their wishes? Must have been the fault of the EU
Eventually the supporters of that invasion stopped arguing.
They stopped
after the invasion, when it became clear that the Iraq war hurt American and helped Iran and Russia.
Many of them pretended that they never really supported it in the first place.
Exactly, Donald Trump today pretends that he was against the war, even though he is a million times more hawkish than GWB. The lies of the Iraq war serve a second time by bringing the populist Trump to power with even more lies.
Brilliant! America the beautiful you can be so proud of yourself!
There is an embarrassment of evidence.
There is embarrassment of the UK government and its unfathomable incompetence to fabricate a case without evidence and without reason.
Russia was invited by Bashar al-Assad to help prop up the world’s most brutal dictatorship.
Russia was invited by the legitimate government of Syria to defend its country against the brutal and crazed bunch of jidhadists that have been armed by the US and its proxies to topple the government of Syria.
Since oil was first discovered in Iran in 1908, the UK and the US have never stopped to usurp every single government that could have brought peace and stability to its people. A strong leader like Putin who can protect the oil resources of his country from foreign exploitation is the nightmare of Anglo imperialists.
Hardly a high moral perch from which to justify shooting down American planes.
Every single American plane in Syria needs to be shot down because America, Turkey and Israel together with their Sunni terrorist proxies unlawfully attack the country to make sure the civil war will not stop.
Putin is our only hope for ending the slaughtering in the Syrian civil war.
Once the Neocon narrative collapses, Western leaders will be exposed with their pants down, just like the GWBs, Cheneys, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitzes of this world.
