7. Duncan's quite the revisionist.
It infuriates me when politicians just ouright lie.



US interests did not include Democracy then either. Spanish American War


and the words of one prominent protestor.


This war had started out as a very popular campaign, but by this time the shine had worn off

and some brave citizens began to raise their voices in protest. Among them was the great

American author Mark Twain. He pointed out the enormous contradictions between our

"benevolent" foreign policy and its brutal consequences. As our involvement became
progressively more difficult to justify, and eventually came to be defended on the grounds

that the U.S. could not retire from it without suffering "dishonor", Twain advocated the

position that "An inglorious peace is better than a dishonorable war."
Emphasis mine.
