How do you think they did?

Colin Powell telling the UN Iraq has weapons of mass destruction

Colin Powell on WMD in Iraq A former top aide to Colin Powell says his involvement in the former secretary of state's presentation to the United Nations on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was "the lowest point" in his life.

Iran Contra Affair

Oliver North pleads the 5th Amendment

MAD Mutually assured destruction (M.A.D.) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two opposing sides would effectively result in the destruction of both the attacker and the defender, becoming thus a war that has no victory nor any armistice but only total destruction

Dolls are boobytrapped or strewn about in minefields

Lady Diana tried to ban landmines that killed and maimed children

Yet the most powerful nations on Earth refuse to sign the ban on personal landmines

US is the largest arms dealer in the world
