3/7/11
This morning’s (i.e., Monday, 3/7’s) Wall Street Journal reports that Senators John McCain and Mitch McConnell are (Surprise!) banging the drum for military aid to the insurgents seemingly locked in a civil war against Moammar Gadhafi, or however the western press is spelling this glorified thug’s name today. The Journal’s editorial page (which is growing to include most of the paper, but I digress) is employing an entire percussion section in its calls for greater U.S. action in the Libyan Civil War.
Two questions:
Is there any war, anywhere, that Senators McCain and McConnell, the Wall Street Journal, and the neocon chicken hawks think we should not get involved in?
Do these cheerleaders for war know anything of history, how great nations and empires, from Rome to Great Britain, were brought down by, admittedly among other things, imperial overreach and the foreign entanglements and meddling in other country’s affairs about which the Founding Fathers warned us?
Is there no end to the hubris, and the willingness to shed the blood and treasure of others, of these war enthusiasts?
