2. Not misinformed, DISinformed
Support for the war was drummed up by a campaign of deliberate deception, by the technique of The Big Lie. People with no access to alternative sources of information naturally bought it, we've been raised to trust a free press that acted as a check on corruption in government.

The press is no longer free, it's corporate.

People are only dimly beginning to realize that now. Mistrust is increasing, but it's been an agonizingly slow process.

Meanwhile, our free press continue to make themselves irrelevant.
