    The idea that the attack on the U.S.S. Cole was a "military intervention" by the U.S. reveals a bit of a bias on the part of the writer. Military ships of all nations with open-water fleets make port of calls at hundreds of nations...that's what the Cole was doing when it was attacked.

    Removing your citizens from a warring country....Liberia, Albania, etc. etc....is only a military intervention in the widest, and I do mean wide, terms.

    Looks a little short to me...did they miss a few?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    After looking in to a lot of them, and getting an overwhelming dose of the big picture, I find it pretty entertaining when people call me a conspiracy theorist when all I'm going on is the proven historical track record as a primary indicator and playing in the same ongoing highly repetitive formula into the present indicators and formulating the same result.

    Oooo I'm a conspiracy nut. hehe...It's laughable to see really.

    If you count every time the National Guard was used in strike breaking, riot control and things like the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, yeah, then the list is short.....if you count every action against the Natives, then it's way too short.
