We have a very gullible American populace and a corrupt media run by corporations and individuals with a disdain for democracy. We also have news organizations that have sister companies that profit enormously from the weapons industry. The US spent over a trillion dollars in Iraq and that money went into the pockets of shareholders at Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, Blackwater, Halliburton, Kellog-Root, and from their into the coffers of Pentagon officers and Congress and even a couple of members of the U.S. Supreme Court (Scalia and Thomas in particular).
But when Americans bought in to the domino theory with Vietnam or that Iraq was behind 9-11 and not a former CIA contractor under GH Bush, and that Afghanistan was about capturing bin Laden (whose family was long time friends of the Prescott and the Bush family) and not about protecting the TAPI pipeline along the route of which the U.S. built major military bases, then we have millions who chose to be ignorant and simply drink the Kool-Aid. As soon as the Taliban agreed to support the TAPI pipeline the U.S. and the British headed for the door as their real job was done.
