Liberty & War – Iraq War, Woodrow Wilson
The Other Side of the Story
Mar 27/03 Jubilation turns to hate as aid arrives
“…Jalil Ali, 25, the young Iraqi in the brown shawl, asked if any of the humanitarian aid was being provided by Americans.
“”Take it back,” he yelled, pretending to push it away. “We want the Americans to go back home. We do not need them here. Go back home. I do not need this.””
“…”They bomb. And now they want to give water and food. How can they do both? How?”…” (1)

Wilson and Bush Compared
Mar 11/03 Wilson, Bush, and History by Joseph Sobran
“…Americans wanted no part of this, until Woodrow Wilson decided that although war was bad, a “war to end all war” and “to make the world safe for democracy” would be okay.” (3)
