What if our foreign policy of the past century is deeply flawed and has not served our national security interest?

What if we wake up one day and realize that the terrorist threat is the predictable consequence of our meddling in the affairs of others, and has nothing to do with us being free and prosperous?

What if occupying countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and bombing Pakistan is directly related to the hatred directed toward us?

What if someday it dawns on us that losing over 5,000 American military personnel in the Middle East since 9/11 is not a fair tradeoff with the loss of nearly 3,000 American citizens no matter how many Iraqi, Pakistanian, Afghan people are killed or displaced?

What if we finally decide that torture, even if called “enhanced interrogation technique”, is self-destructive and produces no useful information and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil?

What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests?

What if we as a nation came to realize that the quest for empire eventually destroys all great nations?

What if the American people learned the truth, that our foreign policy has nothing to do with national security, that it never changes from one administration to the next?

What if war in preparation for war is a racket serving the special interests?

What if diplomacy is found to be superior to bombs and bribes in protecting America?

What if the sun was actually just a light bulb in a cardboard box?

What happens if my concerns are completely unfounded?

Nothing.

But what happens if my concerns are justified and ignored?

Nothing good.

It is a bit odd we had the technology to get to the moon before we had the tech to produce the hand held calculator so we could input 58008 on it and have a giggle in the classroom looking at the calculator upside down.

More than half of Brits think the moon landings were FAKED

On 20th July 1969, Neil Armstrong took mankind's first steps on the moon, but a staggering amount of people still don't believe it really happened.

Some 52 per cent of Brits think that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked, even though it was broadcast live on television, according to a survey carried out on behalf of online mobile retailer e2save.

Those aged 25-34 were the most skeptical, with 73 per cent considering the historic lunar mission to be an elaborate hoax.

Those over 55, who are old enough to remember the revolutionary event taking place, were much less doubtful with only 38 per cent believing the mission to have been faked.

Coincidentally, the same % of people who voted 'Leave'. So yeah, 52% of people in the UK are utter ****ing ****-wits.

While the other dumb **** 48% wanted to be part of Europe not realising we were actually voting on the EU....but worse, despite 48% wanting to stay a high percentage of those idiots can't even speak another language <doh>
