less than 20 years ago and that's very recent in war terms. the same (failed) excuse wont be used again because its always better to fabricate something new thats not related to the last one which turned out to be not true.

Let's be honest, they pivoted from WMD to the much larger and vaguer umbrella of "terrorist" or "terrorist supporter". This has allowed the USA and its allies to indiscriminately kill millions since the Iraq invasion (and rake in billions in weapons deals).

It's always funny when we ignore the mass murderer in the room and instead focus on China's quite measured response to crime.
