>>Why was that so obvious to so few?<<

Most Americans have tremendous faith in their government like they do in God. That's why America is such a fertile market for many scam artists.

You are asking me why most Americans don't see the Iraq War as external aggression and grand larceny. There are some who believe that "might makes right" and they just wanted to take control of the financial asset (Oil). But I do think that the vast majority of Americans are naive and they place way too much trust in their leaders.

>>I'm not entirely hopeful<<

You need hope the most when things are bleak.
