Does the USA support terrorism?
To say that the US foreign policy is total hypocrisy would be a vast understatement!
One recent example of this is recognizing the independence of the Serbian province of Kosovo.
Not only does this undermines the territorial integrity of a sovereign nation, it is also illegal under international law, (UN Resolution 1244 and the Helsinki final act).
It has supported the criminal and terrorist government of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci (aka The Snake) the Supreme Commander of KLA. Now the leader of this illegal province.
The KLA was a terrorist organization that was openly being funded and supported by Al-Qaeda and was even on the CIA watch list until 1999.
How can the US punish Serbia for defending its territory against Muslim terrorists, yet it bombs countries like Iraq back to the stone age, kills hundreds of thousands of civilians all under the false pretense of terror and WMD!
How can the US claim to be a just nation when it refuses to accept international law, and insists on being immune from any prosecution by the international court in The Hague?
How can any American accuse others of Nation conquest and terrorism and expect to be taken seriously?
It has 200,000 soldiers permanently stationed in dozens of countries around the globe and its global military presence expands every year.
If it doesn't like another country's economic policies, it tars the leadership as tyrants and brutes, declares the country a dictatorship
While countries whose leaders are tyrants and brutes and who routinely trample human rights are called friends and allies if they have the right economic policies (Iran, Chile, Guatemala, Philippines, El Salvador, Haiti.)
It routinely intervenes in the elections of other countries, funding political parties, NGO's and media, but prohibits other countries from
intervening in its own elections.
It commits war crimes unrestrained, free from censure and prosecution, because it controls the international body that establishes war crimes tribunals. It refuses to sign a treaty to establish a international criminal court that could prosecute war crimes free from its interference. Does the U.S see itself as being above international law?
It's always strapped for cash when it comes to social spending, health care and Social Security, but can find billions at the drop of a hat
for a new weapons program.
The US polices have the effect of intensifying the misery of the world's poor, while increasing the wealth of the country's business elite.
Since World War II, the United States actually dropped bombs on 23 countries.
These include:
China 1945-46, Korea 1950-53, China 1950-53, Guatemala 1954, Indonesia 1958, Cuba 1959-60, Guatemala 1960,
Congo 1964, Peru 1965, Laos 1964-73, Vietnam 1961-73, Cambodia 1969-70, Guatemala 1967-69, Grenada 1983, Lebanon 1984, Libya 1986, El Salvador 1980s, Nicaragua 1980s, Panama 1989, Iraq 1991-1999, Sudan 1998, Afghanistan 1998, and Yugoslavia 1999.
Post World War II, the United States has also assisted in over 20 different coups throughout the world, and the CIA was responsible for half a dozen assassinations of political heads of state.
Lets keep in mind that the US is the only nation on Earth to have ever used a nuclear weapon in anger on civilian (Not military) targets. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing almost 200,000 civilians.
It won't commit to refraining from using nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states.
So what right do they have to dictate morality to Iran or N.Korea?
Its now become common knowlegde that the US supported Saddam Hussein while he was poisoning his people in Iraq.
And spent over 2 billion dollars training Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, and also supported Al-Qaeda in Kosovo and Bosnia.
As well as supporting other terrorist organizations like the Albanian KLA.
It has the largest stock pile of of smallpox, anthrax, and other biological chemical weapons in the world. In fact, it has 30,000 tons of chemical weapons.
It refuses to sign a treaty banning land mines.
Etc, etc, etc!
One can go on and on!
You can write several encyclopedias of American war crimes against humanity.
What rights does this country have to impose is warped moral authority on anyone?
They use the most powerful media and propaganda machine in the world to promote their imperialist ideals.
Don't kid yourself that America is about freedom and democracy.
