You'd hate us too if it happened to you!

"Let's examine old George Washington shall we? Yes he's someone to emulate, NOT! A slave owner, a mass murdering genocidal maniac and thief, go ahead and ask the Indian population of Kentucky and Tennessee about old George, oh that's right you can't because the richest man in America had them all slaughtered, every man, women and child (except for a few who ran off to Florida only to be rounded up and slaughtered by "Old Hickory"). Yes George really is America, he is exactly what America is all about, theft and mass murder!" --- A Rebuttal To Tom Delay On President's Day --- Ernest Stewart

When someone makes a move
Of which we don't approve,
Who is it that always intervenes?
U.N. and O.A.S.,
They have their place, I guess,
But first send the Marines!
Send The Marines --- Tom Lehrer

I got one of "those" letters the other day from a young ditto monkey in "Desperation Nevada" wondering about last weeks rant and if I weren't a red, pinko, fag loving, mother f--king communist from a blue state? I assured him that I was all of the above, a radical from Michigan who is pro gay marriage, in fact pro people period. Then I talked about his mother, his grand mother and his great grand mother too! As well as what his daddy caught him doing with his sister out behind the barn and why he couldn't graduate with his High School class but had to do it via the computer after what the police caught him doing with that flock of sheep! As you can see playing head games with your wicked old Uncle has some serious consequences to it!

Last week; you'll remember, we went over Bush's bullshit step by step but I really didn't get down to the facts of the matter. I'm guessing you're all aware of what we've done to the tribes from 1492 forward; including the Indians in Mexico in the 1840s, so we'll skip that bit and just concentrate on what we've done since then.

The slaughter of the tribes was just us getting in some practice before we turned our peculiar talents onto the world stage in 1898 in the "Spanish American War." This was the war that we fought to liberate enslaved people from the Spanish Empire and add them to our own Empire as slaves. These "properties" included Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands. In addition, Cuba was granted "independence" but remained our property until Castro came along in 1959. Most of Central America was next to fall to the American Corpo-rats with the backing of the USMC. This kept us busy through the teens, twenties and thirties with W.W.I sharpening our slaughtering skills.

Just some of our victims since W.W.II alone would include:

Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico, Chile, Granada, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador, Zaire, Namibia, Lebanon, Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, Bangladesh, Iran, South Africa, the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Iraq, Cambodia, Libya, Palestine, China, Afghanistan, Sudan, Indonesia, East Timor, Turkey, Angola, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq."

However the monkey and I were discussing the Middle East, so let's take a look at some of our incursions there from W.W.II to the year 2000. When the British and French Empires crumbled after W.W.II we stepped in and took over. Here's a partial list of what we did...

1947-1948: U.S. backs Palestine partition plan. Israel established. U.S. declines to press Israel to allow expelled Palestinians to return.

1949: CIA backs military coup deposing elected government of Syria.

1953: CIA helps overthrow the democratically-elected Mossadeq government in Iran (which had nationalized the British oil company) leading to a quarter-century of repressive and dictatorial rule by the Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi.

1956: U.S. cuts off promised funding for Aswan Dam in Egypt after Egypt receives Eastern bloc arms.

1956: Israel, Britain, and France invade Egypt. U.S. does not support invasion, but the involvement of its NATO allies severely diminishes Washington's reputation in the region.

1958: U.S. troops land in Lebanon to preserve "stability".

1960-1963: U.S. unsuccessfully attempts assassination of Iraqi leader, Abdul Karim Qassim.

1963: U.S. supports coup by Iraqi Baath party (soon to be headed by Saddam Hussein) and reportedly gives them names of communists to murder, which they do with vigor.

1967: U.S. blocks any effort in the Security Council to enforce SC Resolution 242, calling for Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied in the 1967 war.

1970: Civil war between Jordan and PLO. Israel and U.S. discuss intervening on side of Jordan if Syria backs PLO.

1972: U.S. blocks Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat's efforts to reach a peace agreement with Israel.

1973: Airlifted U.S. military aid enables Israel to turn the tide in war with Syria and Egypt.

1973-1975: U.S. supports Kurdish rebels in Iraq. When Iran reaches an agreement with Iraq in 1975 and seals the border, Iraq slaughters Kurds and U.S. denies them refuge. Kissinger secretly explains that "covert action should not be confused with missionary work."

1975: U.S. vetoes Security Council resolution condemning Israeli attacks on Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.

1978-1979: Iranians begin demonstrations against the Shah. U.S. tells Shah it supports him "without reservation" and urges him to act forcefully. Until the last minute, U.S. tries to organize military coup to save the Shah, but to no avail.

1979-1988: U.S. begins covert aid to Osama and the Mujahideen in Afghanistan six months before Soviet invasion in Dec. 1979. Over the next decade U.S. provides training and more than three billion dollars in arms and aid.

1980-1988: Iran-Iraq war. When Iraq invades Iran, the U.S. opposes any Security Council action to condemn the invasion. U.S. soon removes Iraq from its list of nations supporting terrorism and allows U.S. arms to be transferred to Iraq. At the same time, U.S. lets Israel provide arms to Iran and in 1985 U.S. provides arms directly (though secretly) to Iran. U.S. provides intelligence information to Iraq. Iraq uses chemical weapons in 1984; U.S. restores diplomatic relations with Iraq. 1987 U.S. sends its navy into the Persian Gulf, taking Iraq's side; an overly-aggressive U.S. ship shoots down an Iranian civilian airliner, killing 290.

1981-1986: U.S. holds military maneuvers off the coast of Libya in waters claimed by Libya with the clear purpose of provoking Qaddafi. In 1981, a Libyan plane fires a missile and U.S. shoots down two Libyan planes. In 1986, Libya fires missiles that land far from any target and U.S. attacks Libyan patrol boats, killing 72, and shore installations. When a bomb goes off in a Berlin nightclub, killing three, the U.S. charges that Qaddafi was behind it (possibly true) and conducts major bombing raids in Libya, killing dozens of civilians, including Qaddafi's adopted daughter.

1982: U.S. gives "green light" to Israeli invasion of Lebanon, killing some 17 thousand civilians. U.S. chooses not to invoke its laws prohibiting Israeli use of U.S. weapons except in self-defense. U.S. vetoes several Security Council resolutions condemning the invasion.

1983: U.S. troops sent to Lebanon as part of a multinational peacekeeping force; intervene on one side of a civil war, including bombardment by USS New Jersey. Withdraw after suicide bombing of marine barracks.

1984: U.S.-backed rebels in Afghanistan fire on civilian airliner.

1987-1992: U.S. arms used by Israel to repress first Palestinian Intifada. U.S. vetoes five Security Council resolution condemning Israeli repression.

1988: Saddam Hussein kills many thousands of his own Kurdish population and uses US supplied chemical weapons against them. The U.S. increases its economic ties to Iraq.

1988: U.S. vetoes 3 Security Council resolutions condemning continuing Israeli occupation of and repression in Lebanon.

1990-91: U.S. rejects any diplomatic settlement of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (for example, rebuffing any attempt to link the two regional occupations, of Kuwait and of Palestine). U.S. leads international coalition in war against Iraq. Civilian infrastructure targeted. To promote "stability" U.S. refuses to aid post-war uprisings by Shiites in the south and Kurds in the north, denying the rebels access to captured Iraqi weapons and refusing to prohibit Iraqi helicopter flights.

1991: Devastating economic sanctions are imposed on Iraq. U.S. and Britain block all attempts to lift them. Hundreds of thousands die. Though Security Council had stated that sanctions were to be lifted once Saddam Hussein's programs to develop weapons of mass destruction were ended, Washington makes it known that the sanctions would remain as long as Saddam remains in power. Sanctions in fact strengthen Saddam's position. Asked about the horrendous human consequences of the sanctions, Madeleine Albright (U.S. ambassador to the UN and later Secretary of State) declares that "the price is worth it."

1991: U.S. forces permanently based in Saudi Arabia.

1993: U.S. launches missile attack on Iraq, claiming self-defense against an alleged assassination attempt on former president Bush two months earlier.

1998: U.S. and U.K. bomb Iraq over the issue of weapons inspections, even though Security Council is just then meeting to discuss the matter.

1998: U.S. destroys factory producing half of Sudan's pharmaceutical supply, claiming retaliation for attacks on U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and that factory was involved in chemical warfare. Evidence for the chemical warfare charge widely disputed.

2000: Israel uses U.S. arms in attempt to crush Palestinian uprising, killing hundreds of civilians.

Then came Afghanistan which refused our carpet of gold for letting the Vice Fuhrer build his pipeline which resulted in tens of thousands of innocent's either dead or wounded and Iraq where we've slaughtered hundreds of thousands to secure all that lovely oil and keep it off the market.

So why does the world hate us? They hate us for some very, very good reasons!
