Wlat brigade bump. Your hero Abe Lincoln gave a wartime speech in support of the Saddam Hussein of the 1840's: Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

Who'd a thunk it? </sarcasm>

I always liked the line 'How like the half insane mumbling of a fever-dream, is the whole war part of his late message!'

Looks like just the opposite. Our excuses for invading Mexico were no more justified than Saddams excuses for invading Kuwait. The Baghdad Bob's of that day were the greedy slavers who were looking for more land for expansion. It was pure agression.

The Mexican War was the only war in our history I would be willing to apologize over for being unjust.
