Men of Peace Men of War
Our recent history shows the GOP crew as wild-eyed crusading fanatics. This
wasn’t always so.
Ike Eisenhower refused involvements in Cuba
and in Vietnam.
He left it to the great liberal JFK to stage the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba.
Kennedy began the influx of US troops into Vietnam as advisers.
Facing a challenge from Republican Barry Goldwater.in 1964, Democrat LBJ
staged a false flag event in the Gulf
of Tonkin. This escalated
the war and pushed Johnson into a landslide win for his second term as
President.
Over the past ten years we have become aware of Jimmy Carter’s role in
funding and supporting the Afghan mujahedeen. Less reported is that this aid
came to the Afghans six months BEFORE the Soviet invasion.
