US WANTING WAR?

Some military historians have observed that Americans have a unmistakeable pattern of justifying military action through excuses, in spite of George Washington's advice to avoid war.

Consider the following precipitants of American Wars:

1. Stamp Taxes

2. Remember the Alamo

3. Ft. Sumter

4. Remember the Maine

5. Lusitania & Zimmerman Telegram

6. Pearl Harbor's Bomb Plots

7. Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq

8. 9/11

Rate each as a good reason to retaliate militarily.
