I am interested in history, Ray. But I don't subscribed to the conspiracy theory of history. There is no question that in the 19th and early 20th century the American military were used to secure American interests when there was no direct threat to American security. It was a variation on, an expression of, colonialism and expansionism, a phenomenon which was not limited to the United States.

The facts weren't secret, Ray, you just didn't learn them in high school because history for children is pablum. If you had been alive then, you could have read about them in the newspapers.

I just don't see where you are going with this, what you are getting at. I hope you aren't going to start talking about the Trilateral Commission or the Bilderbergers or the New World Order.

There's nothing wrong with asking, "cui bono?," but don't assume that when you've found someone you've found everything. Most endeavors involving large groups of armed forces are multi-factorial in nature.
