The American people were lied to about Vietnam. The American people were lied to about Iraq. The American people are being lied to again today - and once again, it is ordinary people who will pay the price. Further, this attack against Iran is a clear violation of international law.

βIt is not as if the world has not long been one in which vast numbers live in dystopian depredation. The horizon is more visible now to many who had thought themselves insulated, if they thought about it at all. And dystopia for some is utopia for others. We live in a utopia: it just isnβt ours.β
