Why Murkins don't mind more war in the Middle East

I was listening to the radio and a local commentator was talking about all the polling showing Americans support attacking Iran. And, he explained it quite well why they still support that. The most important thing is that people have very little investment in todays military, unless you are in a military family it doesn't effect most people that much. And, most importantly they feel they don't have to sacrifice if there is another war.

He believes if they learned they would be paying 5$ a gallon for an attack on Iran the Murkins would change there minds very quickly.

1. Maybe they`re thinking

if Bush attacks Iran, that means they`ll get another tax cut.

2. Yes, they don't think beyond themselves

That's the only reason why Bush hasn't instituted a draft. He knows what would happen if he did.

3. Don't forget that the vast number of Americans are being lied to everyday

by the corporate media giants. The grip of decades of advancement in advertising techniques and psyop research makes the average American stupid, confused and scared as desired.
