Let us pretend that the US & UK governments believed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction…
Let’s pretend that Bush and Blair were ‘Christians’, and that the God of Christ confirmed to them through meditation, that war was the right course of action, because it was for freedom and human rights…
Let’s pretend, if we believe in a God, that God is like that…

Let’s ignore that these companies invest millions in political donations and retirement jobs for Generals…

Not with my support, the continued abuse of the Palestinian people
Not with my consent, a nuclear strike on North Korea
