Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS:]
-Caveat Lector- More like *two* centuries of U.S. military interventions... IIRC, the first U.S. intervention in Indochina was in *1848*, when U.S. Marines landed in Tonkin to protect American traders from pirates. And, of course, by the 1790s, U.S. naval and Marine forces were being used for similar protection in the Mediterranean, most notably off the Barbary Coast (including the city of Tripoli, now capital of Libya...whence "the shores of Tripoli" in the Marine Hymn). Also, the Mexican War in the 1840s was a classic war of imperialism, perhaps the most blatant military intervention in U.S. history. Among other things, the war produced a generation of U.S. Army officers who would, twenty years later, lead the armies of North and South in the Civil War. It also produced Henry David Thoreau's essay "On Civil Disobedience". Thoreau refused to pay the special excise tax levied to pay for the war and was thrown into Concord Town Jail. Emerson encountered him at the door of the jail (security was not very stringent) and exclaimed, "Why Henry! What are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied, "The question is not what I am doing in here...but what *you* are doing out *there*." -Original Message- From: Nurev Ind Research [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 11, 1999 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] [Fwd: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS:] -Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: FWD: A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS: Date: Sat, 11 Dec 1999 14:15:51 +0200 A CENTURY OF U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTIONS: From Wounded Knee to Yugoslavia Compiled by Zoltan Grossman The following is a partial list of U.S. military interventions from 1890 to 1999. snipped for space DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
