Since 1945 the Americans has bombed China, Korea, Guyana, Indonesia, Cuba to Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala, Grenada, Libya, El-Salvador, Panama, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. How humanitarian can you get?

America's political history is full of crimes. For example, Hiroshima and
Negasaki where people were mass murdered by U.S. bombs, Iraq where the economic blockade has killed 1,200,000 people, El-Salvador where 180, 000 people were killed and Iran during the Ku against Mossadegh 70,000 were killed. In Indonesia 800,000 were killed during the Ku against Sukarno. This is the criminal record of American foreign policy.

The American people are not aware of the crimes committed by their politicians in the past 50 years, which have resulted in the death of millions.

The United States needs to acknowledge that other counties will only stop resenting them when they are free from the intolerable interference and domination.

I would also like to add that although America claims to be free, the media allows itself to be censored. There was a spontaneous gathering of 5000 Iranies who held a candlelight Vidal after September 11 which lasted for weeks to express human sympathy for the victims of the attacks. These people chanted “American condolences”. Yet these pictures where hardly seen in the U.S. nor this reaction reported. The Arabs feel Americans pain, isn’t it time America feels theirs? America fails to grasp the horrific human cost of their wars and the mess they create.
