For the Informed Comment readers who don't follow Glenn Greenwald on a regular basis, Glenn has a post today on the obvious cause and effect of fighting wars in Muslim countries leading to breeding terrorists. USA corporate media does not ask about motives so our propaganda hides from USA the perceptions of the effects of our wars on others. It is so much easier when you are always right and what ever you do is OK and the world is black and white and we are exceptional. It will be harder to maintain this fantasy when we cannot pay for our military.
Here is the link to Glenn's article
