    Why do you think they invade countries?

    To make the world a better place? Why did they invade Iraq? Why did they invade Libya? One of the most well of countries in Africa where having a home was seen to be a human right, trying to make the world a better place by invading one of the only African countries that was actually doing alright for itself.

    They sure do find some creative ways to go about it, stories like Gaddafi had a sex dungeon where he kept dozens of underage girls locked up for "sexual torture", it's only after he's killed and his country destroyed do they say eh yeah that never happened

    Looks pretty unanimous what you guys think, but when these wars are actually going on all you guys can say is "God I hope we get these terrorists/dictators taken out quick and restore peace and harmony to that country" it's only once all the propaganda wears off after a few years and you see the country in the ****ter do you stop and think hmmm maybe they weren't as genuine as they said.
