About this Quote

This quote by Walid Jumblatt speaks to the repercussions of the lies told by former US President George W. Bush and previous British Prime Minister Tony Blair about the factor for invading Iraq. They declared that Iraq had weapons of mass damage, which was later on shown to be false. This lie has actually had a long lasting influence on the general public's trust in their leaders and their decisions. The consequence of this lie is that now, anything that is said by a leader is met with uncertainty and doubt. People are now most likely to question the motives and intents of their leaders, and to be wary of any claims they make. This has had a long lasting impact on the way individuals see their leaders and their decisions, and has made it harder for them to trust their leaders.
