The ramifications from it will haunt us for a century.... and sad to say at least 30% of the population of the US have learned absolutely nothing from it.
I would say a majority. If a majority of Americans HAD learned from it, we'd be calling for an indictment of W's cabinet.
I think even today, saying "Bush lied us into a war" is pooh-poohed as "shrill". I haven't checked lately but that was the consensus just a few years ago.
For those outside my country seeking to understand how that's possible, our corporate owned media cheer-led the war during the run-up and then swept it all under the rug when the dust settled and it turned out all of Bush's wild claims weren't even sort-of true. The media elites in America apparently studied "Pravda" (former Soviet propaganda ministry) carefully. How ironic then that today, to be an informed American, you have to go to foreign sources of media like Russia Today.
Forgive us world, we know not what we do.
