' Just as they were about to sign the treaty...one of the Mexicans,
Don Bernardo Couto, remarked to him, "this must be a proud
moment for you; no less proud for you than it is humiliating for us."
To this Mr. Trist replied "we are making peace, let that be our only
thought." But, said he to us in relating it, "Could those Mexicans
have seen into my heart at that moment, they would have known
that my feeling of shame as an American was far stronger than
theirs could be as Mexicans. For though it would not have done for
me to say so there, that was a thing for every right minded
American to be ashamed of, and I was ashamed of it, most
cordially and intensely ashamed of it." '

This is the mejicano experience with US troops on their soil ... and they're still there, on the northern half of the nation - this is not yesterday's story, but one of today

Good post by SirRealist. It's hard to follow a debate that suggests the Carter Administration was afraid to shoot people. As though Suharto and Somoza have been erased from history (which is almost true).

You should keep American troops out of your country at all costs.

re: War pimps

How about War Pigs? Remember when Ozzy was young and under 200 lbs? -g-

"War Pigs" (Black Sabbath)

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!

Tom
