Again I don't have any better ideas but I feel like we should know better by now.  

I think that was the failing of 40 years ago now. But even in counties where information is controlled, word gets out differently now. The internet and access to it was difficult to control, even for some place like Russia. 

I think more people will come to question their country's actions or inactions now in a way that hasn't been seen before.

Used to, that only happened here because of freedom of the press. Now, the internet brings a lot of free information (some of admittedly false) to people who didn't have access before.
