Unironically yes. You don’t get to be the center of the universe without showing up on the periphery to kick someone else’s nuts in from time to time.

This clip – of Tom Friedman saying the attack on Iraq was morally justified because we had to take out “our big stick” and tell Iraqis: “suck on this” – is one of the most deranged and psychosexually twisted war justifications ever.

no sometimes they start wars to get rich people richer

but for reals its not the soldiers starting wars its the higher ups and the people who make weapons who start wars
