On the Fact that Even Though the Mexican Government Immediately Released the Detained Sailors and Provided a Full-Throated Apology, the Wilson Administration Refused to Let a Sleeping-Dog Lie and Demanded a 21 Gun Salute, and When the Mexicans Refused, Ordered a Military Invasion of Tampico and Vera Cruz, the Final Tally Being 126 Dead Mexicans and 19 Dead Americans
And this from a dude who signed the the Pan-American Act; a bill that guaranteed "territorial integrity and political independence" to all of the signatories, Mexico included. Nice, huh?....................................................................................................P.S. And let us not forget either that Wilson also interfered in the affairs of Haiti, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, a record that puts him right up there with McKinley, the two Roosevelts, LBJ, Nixon, and the two Bushes when it comes to idiotic interventions.
