[QUOTE="Vanellus, post: 77446552, member: 358349"] There were huge demonstrations against the Iraq War. The political class doubled down. No WMD were found and ISIS was enabled. The protesters i.e. the people were vindicated. This article about a smaller scale issue illustrates how this works. The political class double down against the protesters. After years and many trees unnecessarily felled the two sides talk peace and the evidence vindicates the protesters i.e. the people. The politicians were shown to have lied. Politicians don't always get it wrong, don't always lie but when push turns to shove that seems to be the instinct of those in power. Now huge numbers are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and what are the politicians doing - they are doubling down. It's quite long but a really good read: [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/24/chainsaws-disguises-and-toxic-tea-the-battle-for-sheffield-trees']Sheffield's trees[/URL] [/QUOTE]
