Rumsfeld had to bomb the military to Iraq: "We have two options, change the way we live or change the way others live”

23
years ago

19 October 2001,

U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told the military to bomb Iraq: “Remember that we have two options. Changing the way we live or the way others live. We have chosen the latter and you will help us achieve that goal.”

According to some historians, these statements reflect very well the historical behavior of the United States in its relations with other peoples of the world.
