Spain---'37----International brigades including the Lincoln Brigade from the U.S. stood up against the Hitler-Luftwaffe-backed Franco. Arguably, that turned into the Holocaust and the horror of the those four main years of World War 2.

Labeled "premature fascists" and abandoned/harassed by the U.S. government at home, the events unfolded.

Given that hindsight is clearer than the fog of war, Bush is, at least, striving to head off something that he and his henchmen have "foreseen"! I have never supported Bush in this forum, but at least I can see what he is trying to do.

Again, "the best laid plans of mice and men..."
