Everyone in government are the butchers of Iraq. Everyone should listen to Blowback

    I finished this podcast just the other day, i highly recommend it.

    The last episode is just awful to listen to. 600,000 dead, no one was held accountable and everyone acts like nothing even happened.

    Also i cant remember which episode, but someone made a great point which has stuck with me. When talking about American imperialism, people use language like The US 'stumbled' into Iraq or something like that, as if it wasn't totally calculated and done for a specific purpose. It's so easy for people to dismiss as a mistake and carry on pretending the US war machine spreads freedom.

      I was taking a run and had to turn it off because I was about to cry during Episode 4

      It's honestly worse than this. Everyone acts like it's terrible, but refuses to actually try to stop it from continuing.
