"Official Washington is in deep umbrage over Russias intervention in Ukraine after a U.S.-backed coup overthrew the democratically elected president. Some top neocons want a new Cold War, but they dont want anyone to note their staggering hypocrisy, writes Robert Parry."

Since World War II and extending well into the Twenty-first Century the United States has invaded or otherwise intervened in so many countries that it would be challenging to compile a complete list. Just last decade, there were full-scale U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, plus American bombing operations from Pakistan to Yemen to Libya.
So, what is one to make of Secretary of State John Kerrys pronouncement that Russias military intervention in the Crimea section of Ukraine at the behest of the countrys deposed president is a violation of international law that the United States would never countenance?
Kerry decried the Russian intervention as a Nineteenth Century act in the Twenty-first Century. However, if memory serves, Sen. Kerry in 2002 voted along with most other members of the U.S. Congress to authorize President George W. Bushs invasion of Iraq in 2003, which was also part of the Twenty-first Century. And, Kerry is a member of the Obama administration, which like its Bush predecessor, has been sending drones into the national territory of other nations to blow up various enemy combatants.
....because its OK when WE do it!
What happened to the John Kerry of the 60s and 70s?
I really used to like that guy.
What a shame to ruin such a good legacy.
You will know them by their WORKS.
