Yeah, it's not as though there weren't protests against the invasion, and widespread media coverage thereof.

  And all the protests accomplished jackshit. Can't you see that that is the point? Your opinion and protests have no effect. Your protests are just plausible deniability. https://youtu.be/UqMaYuVvqGo https://youtu.be/UqMaYuVvqGo Weapons of mass destruction LOL

    The protests failed to invigorate change, not unlike anti mask protests today, because the message wasn't persuasive enough to sufficiently many people. That's democracy. It's not great, but it's better than the alternatives.

      Entrenched special interests driving policy is what the US is. Even an erstwhile democracy can fall into a stuck state. Democracies can be perverted and also have a history of destroying themselves. See Greek history.

        Still better than totalitarianism or fascism.
