Remember the Maine.

This is the foremast of the USS Maine. The foremast was found during the raising of the Maine in 1912, and brought back to the United States aboard the USS Sterling in August of that year. It was erected at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_Mast_Memorial

Robert Carrier said:
The pinnacle of "Yellow Journalism", the Maine was significant because the major American publications at the time blamed the Spanish for the sinking of the ship (it was later discovered to be the result of a boiler explosion, I believe) without any evidence. It caused a major uproar that eventually led to the Spanish-American war and Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

remember the MAINE! surprise? attack on PEARL HARBOUR! remember the BAY OF TOLKIEN! weapons of mass destruction-and over 900 "fabricated stories" to justify attacking IRAQ... remember BUSH!

Yes, the story is still the same! No matter how years passed. There always be a cause for the intervention. Roosvelt in Havana, Truman in Korea, Johnson in Vietnam, JFK in Cuba, Carter in Grenada, and many more. War is a great business.
