Trusting Politicians wrt War

Here's something to consider when expressing support for our government's military adventures:

Looking back, were the original goals that were presented by governments to start their wars ever achieved? Discuss this question from the point of view of the aggressor and the "good guys".

If only Wikileaks had been around in the past ... ... how many lives might have been saved? Discuss this question from the point of view of the aggressor and the "good guys".

Discuss who, exactly, are the aggressors and who are the good guys in each war you care to mention.

Oh, yeah, don't forget to support the troops. ... From both sides. You just can't have a war without them. After all, you wouldn't want the rich and powerful to have to actually, physically, fight ( and maybe die or be maimed) for their side in the wars they support, would you?
