I Am Guilty

Guilt

I am guilty,

But not in the way you think.

CFR Co-Chair Gary Hart's Letter to Iran 09/07



Presuming that you are not actually ignorant enough to desire war with the United States, you might be well advised to read the history of the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana harbor in 1898 and the history of the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964.



Having done so, you will surely recognize that Americans are reluctant to go to war unless attacked. Until Pearl Harbor, we were even reluctant to get involved in World War II. For… Continue
