“In the most recent episode of U.S. war hysteria, the media was filled with endless remarks on how Syria had to be attacked to maintain U.S. ‘credibility’. These individuals, and many others just like them, care not a whit about the lessons of history. Ronald Reagan sang the same interventionist tune while he was President. Even after 241 U.S. Marines were killed in the Beirut barracks bombing, he kept up the ‘credibility’ rhetoric. The warring classes know that the American public has a short memory. Few will recall what happened in Lebanon and the ‘credibility’ garbage that was tossed around back then.”
