Mulvaney won't rule out military action in Venezuela

20. Iraq redux

We've seen this before with the first and second Iraq wars.

The US has NO right to intervene in the internal affairs of another nation. The history of our nation in doing just that demonstrates how little we learn from what we do. Those, as the saying goes, who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

With Kuwait it was the brutal Iraqis throwing babies out of incubators. With Iraq 2 it was the WMD lies spread by Cheney and co. All in an effort to gain control of natural resources. Eighteen years later we are still wasting lives, and money, because none of our leaders had the balls to do what the Russians did in Afghanistan and get out.

We've heard all the stories before about how "the people" will welcome US invaders as liberators and saviors of their country. Really?

And the US enlists Elliot Abrams to help run this crap? Iran-Contra Elliot? Really?

The time to stop this is now, before more US soldiers die and the world learns once again that an invasion is an invasion, and never happens without tremendous costs in lives and destruction.

Wake up.
