ORIGINAL: JohnWarren I wonder if she's forgotten Germany and Japan. I suppose Truman didn't occupy them, but if so, he sure fooled the Germans and the Japanese. Hell, for a while back there, the US Marines almost literally owned Haiti.... so much so, that when President Roosevelt came to visit, the local band struck up "The Hymn" thinking it was the US anthem. John, I seem to recall something pertaining to Japan and Pearl Harbor. Obviously the US has assisted, and yes instigated, in other "political actions" and wars. I don't think comparing our "situation" with Japan in the 40s has anything to do with Bush invading Iraq. This is the first time in US history that the USA preemptively invaded and occupied another country with no just cause. It was based on bullshit made up "evidence" hand picked and determined by Cheney after his living at CIA headquarters for a couple months leading up to the invasion. PFNAC and other doctrines via Bush all but laid this out years before he ever stole the White House. Look, there is no shortage of evidence and info about this entire fiasco. They (BushCo) are war profiteers, war criminals and should be sent to the Hague. Iraq did nothing to us, never did (including Kuwait). Humanity at large has been far more violated by numerous African countries for which we (neither party) have ever done squat. BushCo rhetoric aside, Saddam was not as bad (yes he was an asshole) as many other dictators and again, he did NOTHING to the US. I think mentioning Japan/Hitler in this regard is beneath you and your intelligence. [:)]
