This is the point from which I could never return, And if I back down now then forever I burn. This is the point from which I could never retreat, Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace. This is the point from which I will die and succeed, Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed. From now on it can never be the same as before, Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore [Immortal Technique]

Stephen Kinzer, author of "Overthrow: America's Century Of Regime Change From Hawaii To Iraq," Is a former New York Times Foreign Correspondent and author of several books, including "All The Shah's Men," and "Bitter Fruit."
Kinzer Writes:
"The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was not an isolated episode. It was the culmination of a 110-year period during which American's overthrew fourteen governments that displeased them for various ideological, political, and economic reasons."
"The regime change in Iraq seemed for a time--a very short time--To have worked. It is now clear, however, that this operation has had terrible unintended consequences. So have most of the other coups, revolutions, and invasions that the United States has mounted to depose governments it feared or mistrusted."
