They will stop us from what exactly?
Does Iran, Syira or Iraq have troops on U.S. soil?
Incredibly reasonable questions, but they're not applicable to an ideology-driven, globalizing war economy.

Nobody is supposed to acknowledge that the government does things terribly wrong.
Because if we do acknowledge the obvious, it clues us in that perhaps the government is illegitimate, wasteful, contemptful of human life, deadly, brimming with lies, etc. etc.

Or, if we do acknowledge this, we're supposed to shrug it off and pretend we can afford to shrug it off indefinitely.
