And agree - US people were conned and told a diatribe of utter propaganda and how to hate other countries - from the "French" to Iraq. The sad part is they believed it.

If you were in the same situation you would have believed it, too. None of us are so informed or omniscient that we know more than the government tells us, no matter how intelligent we would like to believe we are.
A lot of this would have been a moot point had the US not meddled in Israeli affairs and forced them to return oil fields they had captured in defensive wars...
