Plainol, Just exactly where did I say ANYTHING of the sort ?? You do know who James Monroe was, don't you ?? You do have SOME understanding of his "doctrine" ?? It was imposed (illegally) by the US during the intervention into Cuban internal affairs in the early 60s.
Definition: The Monroe Doctrine was the declaration by President James Monroe, in December 1823, that the United States would not tolerate a European nation colonizing an independent nation in North or South America. Any such intervention in the western hemisphere would be considered a hostile act by the United States, though the United States would respect existing European colonies. What prompted Monroe’s statement, which was expressed in his annual address to Congress (what today would be considered the State of the Union Address) was a fear that Spain would try to take over its former colonies in South America, which had declared their independence. It was believed that France, which had invaded Spain and restored its former king to the throne, was behind Spanish intentions to become involved again in South America. OK are we on track now ?? Can we agree I was NOT yet living in 1823 therefore I was not the one who said this ??
