30. No and that's precisely how this stuff happens over and over and over,
Edited on Tue May-31-11 12:36 PM by EFerrari
by pretending that each is a special case. In Honduras, the claim was the coup saved the country from Chavez. In Nicaragua, the claim was the Contras were freedom fighters saving the people from repression. In El Salvador, the claim was the rebels were violent communists. In Iraq, the claim was WMD and the treatment of women. The claims vary but what never varies is the avarice of the people pulling the strings on these operations. Gaddafi is not a good leader, neither was Saddam. But that doesn't make the official story true, either. I don't know about you, but the fake claims of defending democracy stopped being credible to me decades ago.
