War on Villa/War on Terror
President Woodrow Wilson ordered General Pershing into Mexico to hunt down Pancho Villa after his men massacred innocent citizens of Columbus, NM. This of course, hurt Mexican-American relations. The U.S. army was technically invading a sovereign nation, although it can be argued that the invasion was justified.
This is why today, we cannot find Osama bin Laden. He is most likely hiding in the remote and lawless tribal regions of central Pakistan. We would probably be able to get him if we wanted to, but that would mean sending troops into an autonomous nation- Pakistan. That would strain our already fragile relationship with the Pakistanis.
I smell a sequel. "...And Starring Osama bin Laden as a Douchebag."
Rebuttal?
