American Injustice Contributed by puffy writes on Saturday, May 08 @ 06:04:10 EDT

In his book 'Rogue State', William Blum, an ex-US State Department worker, provides further insight into America's injustices. The following brief extracts are but a small part of a vast collection:
1945 - 1974: American Genocide of the Vietnamese People. Estimated total civilian deaths; 2,500,000 - 3,500,000. The slippery slope began with the US siding with the French, the former colonisers and with collaborators the Japanese, against Ho Chi Minh and his followers, who had worked closely with the allied war effort.
Ho Chi Minh had written numerous letters to President Truman and the State Department asking for America’s help in winning Vietnamese independence from the French. He was ignored for he was some kind of communist. More than twenty years and more than a million dead later, the United States withdrew its forces from Vietnam. But by destroying Vietnam to its core, by poisoning the earth, the water and the gene pool for generations, Washington had in fact achieved its primary purpose: preventing what might have been the rise of a good development option for Asia.
1948 - Present: American/Israeli State Terrorism of the Palestinian People. Estimated total civilian deaths; 100,000.
1953 - Present: American-backed genocide of the Guatemalan people. Estimated deaths; over 200,000.
1955 - 1973: American Genocide of the Cambodian People. Estimated total civilian deaths; 1,000,000 - 2,000,000.
1959 - Present: American subversion and state terrorism of the Cuban people.
1964 - 1974: American-backed subversion, mass-murder, torture and overthrow of democracy in Greece. Estimated civilian deaths; over 10,000.
1964 - 1973: American-backed overthrow of the democratic government of Chile. Estimated civilian deaths; over 5000 people from the subsequent Pinochet terror campaign; at least 1000 people missing and presumed dead.
1975 - 1999: American-backed genocide of the people of East Timor. Estimated civilian deaths; over 200,000.
1979 - 1984: American subversion and invasion of tiny Grenada. Estimated total civilian deaths; several hundred people.
1979 - 1992: American subversion in Afghanistan; Estimated civilian deaths, over 1,000,000.
1981 - 1989: American terror-campaign against the Libyan People; numerous CIA assassination attempts on Muammar Qadhafi. Estimated civilian deaths from the April 1986 attack: over 100 people, including Quadhafi's two-year-old daughter.
1988: US Navy mass-murder of civilian Iranian Airline passengers. Known civilian deaths: 290 people.
1989: American invasion of Panama. Estimated civilian deaths, several people.
1991 - Present: American/British State terrorism of the Iraqi people. Estimated total civilian deaths; at least 200, 000 people directly from the 1991-terror campaign. 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 people since then from the combined effects of depleted uranium poisoning, polluted water and sanctions.
The list goes on...
