Obama says: America have been working for peace around the world for decades.
I say: On which planet? apparently we can't be living on the same one.

Harold Pinter made an epic speech when he got his Nobel Prize for Literature. He asked why, and I quote him, “The systematic brutality, the widespread atrocities, the ruthless suppression of independent thought” in Stalinist Russia were well known in the West, while American state crimes were “merely superficially recorded, let alone documented, let alone acknowledged, let alone recognized as crimes at all.” And yet across the world the extinction and suffering of countless human beings could be attributed to rampant American power. “But,” said Pinter, “You wouldn’t know it. It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest.”

Why do we continue to have wars..? because finding the truth is of no interest, not even while it's happening.
