"War .... what is it good for. Absolutely nothing." About 1 million sang that as one in Woodstock. Back then, rock and roll stations played five minutes of news every hour. But the informed Americans could not even vote.

Another hundred thousand clearly stated same in Washington. And still extremists belittled the most patriotic people - the informed.

One would think we learned from that experience. And yet the same lies justified Mission Accomplished. Another war that clearly could not be won due to an administration that lied. And three necessary requirements all were violated. So they massacred another 5000 American servicemen for no purpose.

So many Americans did not do their jobs as citizens - learn facts well demonstrated in history.

Some wars are justified. And were won because all three critical factors were met - ie Desert Storm.

So one would think Americans got educated by history and not by wacko extremist talk show hosts. Not by Fox News (that constantly lied about Mission Accomplished). Not by Tweets or Facebook.

How many patriotic Americans exist? Well, how many are extremely angry that a president (dumber than George Jr) was only ten minutes away from 'Pearl Harboring' Iran. All over a downed spy drone. Patriotic Americans should still be fully aware, extremely angry, and asking who saved America - by restoring sanity to that administration with only minutes to spare.

This dumb president even left a NATO Summit early because so many other leaders mocked him. Rightly so. He cannot even take a joke. PBS Newshour

So maybe add a fourth requirement is necessary to justify war. The president must be intelligent. This one is dumber than George Jr. And more corrupt than Nixon. Another factor that says military intervention is unjustified. Unfortunately, too many Americans do not even understand that.

Woodstock = summer 1969

"War" = released March 1970 (Temptations version) / June 1970 (more popular Edwin Starr version)
