Iraq & El Salvador

This article is from a couple of months ago, but is incredibly interesting.

The war in Iraq is being compared to the war in El Salvador both were U.S. backed invasions.

What is interesting is that Rumsfeld seems to think that El Salvador was a success, and were looking at an option for the struggling Iraq called "the Salvadoran option". The operation could include U.S. backed movements such as death squads that were used in El Salvador against guerrilla insurgency.

The ambassador to Iraq was also an administrative official during the 80s as ambassador to Honduras under Reagan...conspiracy theory I think not.

This article is a very interesting example of how one event can have so many interpretations...and how history seems to be repeating itself.
