Just perusing reality. It's been true since FDR.

Sure glad our government never lies to us.

We haven't won a war since FDR.

Ever wonder why?

On the other hand Vietnam seems to have stabilized quite nicely once we got out interfering asses out of there.

"KIEV, Ukraine — A preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment indicates that a Malaysia Airlines plane that crashed Thursday in eastern Ukraine was shot down by an antiaircraft missile fired by pro-Russian separatists, U.S. officials said Friday.
President Obama said at least one American was killed in the shootdown, which he said was carried out from an area controlled by Russian-backed separatists. In a news conference at the White House, he noted that the separatists have “received a steady flow of support” from Russia, including heavy weapons, training and antiaircraft systems. He called for “a credible international investigation” into the tragedy and urged Russia to cooperate with it.
Obama identified the U.S. victim as Quinn Lucas Schansman, whom he said was “the sole person we can definitively say was a U.S. or dual citizen” so far based on an examination of the flight manifest. The deaths of the 298 people on the plane “are an outrage of unspeakable proportions,” Obama said.
“Our assessment is that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 . . . was likely downed by an SA-11 missile, operated from a separatist-held location in eastern Ukraine,” Samantha Power , the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told the U.N. Security Council earlier Friday." WaPo

Yeh, but our reasons for killing people are better than their reasons for killing people.
