@Foofie,
Quote:Just wondering, are you concerned about "war crimes" by all nations, or just a few, or just one? Must we all subscribe to your perceptions of who's who in the war crimes arena? Can we have our own war crime list?
List away, Foofie, you'll only foofiefy yourself.
There is, no, there are two major reasons why I focus on the US - Iraq and Afghanistan. There simply is no other nation at present that comes anywhere close to the US when it comes to committing war crimes, fomenting trouble around the world, stealing the wealth of other nations, selling arms around the world, greedily gobbling the earth's resources, all this and more, while making a huge pretense that it is some good, kind, generous nation.
Certainly Iraq and Afghanistan are large enough events in and of themselves to maintain a focus on. The reason for the extensive history I provide is to show that what the USA is, it has always been. From the beginning, the US has been nothing but a greedy pillager.
Now that's not to say that it hasn't all been done without a degree of smarts. It has learned some lessons of history well. It's the new UK, but the US saw early on that establishing brutal dictators was much more efficient than the British system of trying to govern its conquests.
That has given the US unlimited rights to rape and pillage with the added benefit of plausible deniability. Add to that the enormous propaganda system that is the sum total of the US media, the US film industry, the US education system and you have a system that the Nazis would have loved.
How else can you possibly explain the ignorance of the vast majority of Americans to the facts?
