Blame the Interventionists 

William Pfaff

Paris, May 14, 2013 – The United States has a recent history of going to war for dubious reasons promoted by interested groups, for which afterwards Americans are sorry. I have in mind the controversial Tonkin Gulf incident that was used to justify large-scale U.S. intervention in Vietnam. In more recent memory, it was the search for non-existent mass destruction weapons that prompted the invasion of Iraq. Now we have a threat of war with Russia to save an American-sponsored coup d’etat in Ukraine.

This seems the work of officials closely associated with the right-wing Project for a New American Century. This organization since 1997 has assembled virtually all of the neo-conservative foreign policy specialists, publicists and commentators previously discredited by the United States’ military and political fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan.
