It astonishes me that people haven't clued in yet that it's us that are the bad guys.

This just constantly amazes me. You can understand it from idealogues, spooks, politicians as they have a reason to pretend (mostly finanical/power related) but people in the street who were around for Iraq twice, Afghanistan, Libya, Lebanon several times (although that probably gets lost in the "I don't really understand it, seems to be some sort of civil conflict" maze) and most recently and glaringly Gaza, who can't see what side "we" are on almost have to be actively deluding themselves. There's cognitive dissonance and then there's burying your head in the sand.

It really is ridiculous how people don't see this by now. The blatant horror and atrocity of Gaza should surely lead them to reconsider the previous "wars" in a different light but apparently they are still buying the "we are the light" bullshit.
