The Easter Rising ?

Exporting 'Democracy' – Importing Trouble
Why we ought to mind our own business

Justin Raimondo

The text of a speech
delivered to the Yale Political Union on April 13th. On this occasion, the Union debated the topic: "Resolved: America should not use force to export democracy."

.."The neoconservative foreign policy project – succinctly summed up by the President as the goal of "ending tyranny in our world" – is closer, in theory and in practice, to the spirit of Marxism than to anything vaguely resembling conservatism, or, indeed, any ideology born on American soil. That is entirely appropriate, of course, since the leftist roots of neoconservatism are well known, and it is clear that, as much as they talk about patriotism and "pro-Americanism," their real roots spring from a bulb planted not by Jefferson, but by Trotsky."...

Read this, if this does not convince you of the utter folly of the Iraqi and Afghan adventures - and possible Iranian manouevres in the dark, nothing will.

Meanwhile the Generals (Rtd.) revolt against their Commander in Chief ...... McArthur and Truman Redux ?
