Terrorism – An American Failure?

[historian]

1. the biggest terrorist of all

What most Americans fail to realize is that we are the biggest terrorists of all. We have interfered, toppled legitimate governments, have invaded and started wars for no obvious reasons. From the very beginning we waged war on the Indians, stole lands from Mexico, provoked a war with Spain and stole the Philippines and Cuba, toppled Allende in Chile and replaced him with Pinochet, a military fascist and murderer, interfered in Brazil, Argentina, El Salvador and Nicaragua created horrendous working conditions for the people working in the banana fields with terror and fear, interfered in Greece and Lebanon, invaded Panama, Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos. Created a long term basis for hatred against the Iranians who saw their moderate and democratically elected president toppled and toppled with the Shah, another military thug. Let us not forget the glorious victory in Grenada when we had to face 600 residents. Worse of all is Iraq and Afghanistan.
It make me sick to think of how readily we sent the nazi big wigs to trial while we allow our own Nazis such as Kissinger, Bush, Rice and Cheney continue with their lives while hundreds of thousands die, including helpless children.
So to those Americans who are so proud of themselves, wake up or soon enough 1984 will become a reality. We are already being spied on by our own government and spying on our own allies. We are due for a fall so hang on.
