Remembering Monroe Doctrine as Tensions Rise in Americas

Submitted by Dorst, Sep 15, 2008 11:40

What strange logic. It is OK for the US to invade Afghanistan on a pretext in order to secure the country for a pipeline, it is OK for the US to invade Iraq on the pretext of non-existent WMD, but let no foreign regime make an alliance of friendship with any country in the Western Hemisphere. There is nothing new in this of course. It's been going on for a hundred years. But is it any wonder that America is reviled by billions of people around the world? And the only thing preventing change is the ignorance of the American public.
