We have too many veterans. Mainly because we have had too many wars and interventions. On this Veterans Day let us not remember those in the military who “defend our freedoms” by invading other countries. Instead, let us never forget that it began as Armistice Day, which commemorated the end of the the monstrous evil known as World War I. Let us also never forget how wars result from the lies of politicians. After Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the slogan, “He Kept Us Out of War,” he said to the U.S. House: “There will be no war. This country does not intend to become involved in war. It would be a crime against civilization for us to go into it.”
So what happened to the war crime trial for Wilson? The same thing that will happen to the war crime trial for Bush for lying us into another war. When will Congress get the backbone to cut off funding for the monstrous evil in Iraq? I hate to be so pessimistic, but probably when Wilson and Bush are tried for war crimes.
