In the beginning there was a tale. This tale could be anything. It could be something that that is the figment of someone's imagination...or based on fact. The problem is, some people have a habit of mixing fact with fiction. When this happens and there is enough fact in there to convince others that all that is written or heard is true, it not only does an injustice to the story, but also to the facts included in the tale. We have seen evidence of this throughout history. In fact, history itself has been victim to this travesty.
Case in point:
The American people were convinced that Iraq was a terror to the world because it was stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction, or WMD's, and harboring Al Qaeda terrorists. They said that they had ironclad proof! They even went to the UN to convince those around the world that this was fact. To bad none of it was true.
To say that the Iraqi people needed to be saved from the tyrannical Saddam Hussein and his sons' regime is an understatement, but did we have to be told lies and half truths to free these people?
I say no.
I will speak on this topic again at another time. I will also be touching on subjects into the early history of this land...the difference in what we were taught in schools and what actually happened. Some may be controversial...but isn't that the way real life is?
