The trumped up Gulf of Tonkin bullshit to escalate the Vietnam War and the disaster that followed. Evil interference of Latin American governments. Trumped-up lies by the Cheney-Bush cabal to invade Iraq. Now likely the final act in the self-destruction of a country that had so much potential to be a good and happy place. We had it made, with economic prosperity and a flawed but functional constitutional republic ..... and the evil republican party destroyed it all.
