By Ted RALL Even the wars that historians judge to have been noble and beneficial rely on popular support marketed and sustained by lies.

Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega’s home was nothing of the sort. The Taliban offered to turn over Osama bin Laden — it was George W. Bush who refused to take him because to accept would have denied him his excuse to invade Afghanistan.
As Gen. and Director of British Military Intelligence John Charteris observed after World War I, “to make armies go on killing one another it is necessary to invent lies about the enemy.”
