Why Is America Hated?

The destruction of the world trade center and the attack on the
pentagon has been  described  as the greatest act of terrorism.
However history demonstrates that the most horrific acts of
Terrorism has been carried out by the freedom loving democratic
nation, the United States of America. According to their own
Official FBI definition of terrorism: "Terrorism is theunlawful
use of force or violence against persons or propertyto intimidate
or coerce a government, the civilian population,or any segment
thereof, in furtherance of  political  or social objectives."

IRAQ:

From 1991 to the present day the United States Air Force and
Navy have slaughtered over 200,000 civilian people in Iraq with
Depleted Uranium missiles, cluster bombs, cruise missiles and
other so-called "smart bombs." 

During the "Desert Storm" terror campaign the arsenal also included
fuel-air bombs and napalm.

177 million pounds of bombs were dropped on the people of Iraq
in the most concentrated aerial bombardment in the history of
the world. In the 110,000 sorties of the six-week onslaught the
cowardly American and British pilots (and to a lesser extent
French and Saudi pilots) mass-murdered at least 200,000 people,
using depleted uranium missiles, napalm, cluster-bombs,
fuel-air bombs, cruise missiles and other so-called "smart
bombs." The slaughter of civilian people in the Amariyah bomb
shelter was a Prime example of this American/British state
terrorism. Most of them were women, children, elderly, and
invalids from a new housing development. Cowardly U.S. Navy and
U.S. Air Force jet pilots caught one sixty-mile-long  column of
fleeing Iraqi soldiers and Palestinian civilian families in
vehicles on the Kuwait to Basra highway - and pounded them
ruthlessly with bombs and machine-gun  fire. The  road, clogged
by four lanes of one-way, bumper-to-bumper traffic, was carpet
bombed by B-52s dropping 1,000-pound bombs, and repeatedly hit
with laser-guided missiles and "smart"  bombs. All the Iraqi
soldiers, as well as Palestinian workers and their families,
were slaughtered without mercy. The bloodthirsty American
pilots gleefully described the massacre as "shooting in a sheep
pen."

During the Desert Storm terror campaign at least 944,000 rounds
of Depleted Uranium ammo were fired from American A-10 Warthogs
all over Iraq and Kuwait. When a depleted uranium tipped shell
strikes a tank or armored personnel carrier it easily
penetrates the armor and burns the crew  alive. The impact also
vaporizes the depleted uranium, creating an aerosol ofradioactive
heavy-metal particles which  can  spread  as far as
190 miles on the wind. When inhaled or ingested, the depleted
uranium particles cause chemical and  radioactive damage to the
bronchial tree, kidneys, liver and bones. Cancer often results,
and the effects can even include genetic damage.
 

The Dutch Laka Foundation estimates that the United States
terror campaign left behind 300-800 tons of radioactive waste
from this ammunition all over Kuwait and Iraq - poisoning  the
air, the land, the water and the people everywhere. Afterwards,
wherever the depleted uranium  firing  had been concentrated,
there were cancer epidemics among Iraqi civilians living nearby.
In the ten years since then, sanctions, polluted water and 
depleted uranium together have killed somewhere between
1,000,000 and 2,000,000 Iraqi civilian people. At least 600,000
of the dead are children. Cancer rates have quadrupled in areas
of southern Iraq bombed by the American and British state
terrorists. Since it began, thousands of Iraqi babies have been
born with horrible birth defects. This is something that has
never before been seen in Iraq.

Over the course of only 43 days and nights, approximately
62,000-80,000 air-delivered cluster bombs were dropped on the
Iraqi people by the American-led state terrorists. In addition,
10,000  MLRS rockets and 100,000 "Dual Purpose Improved
Conventional Munition" artillery shells were fired. All this
translates to about 24-30 million "submunitions" or bomblets.
Assuming a dud rate of 5%, it is estimated that the number of
Dangerous land-mine cluster bomblets lying on or just under the
surface of the ground in Iraq and Kuwait would be from 1.2 to 1.5
million. At least. In the desert, however, the percentage of these
duds rose to 30%. So the number of unexploded ordnance still lying
in wait for unsuspecting Iraqi children and civilian people could 
be as high as 7 to 9 million bomblets. A Human Rights Watch report
says that of the estimated 24 to 30 million bomblets dropped during
the Desert Storm terror campaign, the 1.2 to 1.5 million (at least)
that did not immediately explode led to the bloody deaths of 1,220
Kuwaiti and 400 Iraqi people - mostly children - and over 2,500 maimed.
And that was in just the first two years after the end of the "war."
So the American/British systematically targeted Iraq's civilian 
infrastructure. Schools, hospitals, factories and every industry 
connected to food production, water purification and irrigation were
targeted for destruction. U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots destroyed a baby 
formula plant, food warehouses, pharmaceutical plants, fertilizer plants, 
pesticide plants, storage facilities, refrigeration facilities, electrical 
generation and communication plants and every single grain silo in the country. 

All these were destroyed in order to intensify the impoverishing effect
Of the sanctions. In the process, U.S. and British pilots slaughtered at
least 200,000 Iraqi men, women and children. And of course all these murdered
human beings were dismissed  by  the  Pentagon  as "collateral damage." 
In the 10 years since that carnage, the United Nations estimates that over one
million Iraqi civilians – including 600,000 children below the age of five - 
have died as a result of American sanctions alone. One of the most important 
strategies of the 1991 terror-campaign against the civilian
Iraqi people was the bombing of numerous water-purification plants.
After that the American sanctions prevented Iraqis from getting enough
replacement parts to repair most of the plants.

So, just as the evil U.S. and British governments planned, the
lack of clean drinking water in Iraq has caused a massive human
catastrophe. It is contaminated water, more than anything else,
that is killing Iraqi babies and small children, by the thousands, every month. 
Because they are the most vulnerable they are dying from diarrhea and dysentery
primarily, and also diseases such as typhoid, hepatitis, cholera and polio
- all caused by bacteria and viruses within the contaminated water.
And just to make the whole diabolical scheme complete, the American sanctions 
also prevent the Iraqis from acquiring sufficient  medicine to treat these  
deadly diseases. In an interview of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on
CBS's 60 Minutes, correspondent Lesley Stahl asked her if the death of these 600,000 
Iraqi children was "worth it." Albright's reply: "...we think the price
is worth it." General Colin Powell when asked about the number of Iraqi people who
were slaughtered by Americans in the 1991 "Desert Storm" terror campaign:  "It's 
really not a number I'm terribly interested in." "If they turn on the radars
we're going to blow up their goddamn SAMs [surface-to-air missiles]. They know we 
own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk.
And that's what's great about America right now. It's a good thing, especially when
there's a lot of oil out there we need." U.S. Brig. General William Looney  Washington
Post, August 30, 1999 - referring, in reality, to the brutal mass-murder of hundreds
of civilian Iraqi men, women and children during 10,000 sorties by American/British.

PALESTINE:

Since September 29,2000 the Israeli Army, together with violent gangs of 
Israeli "settlers," have launched a massive military assault on the Palestinian people.
In this latest onslaught the Israelis have murdered over 600 people so far,
including many children, and injured over 15,000, many severely Of these 15,000 
people, over 1000 have sustained serious physical or neurological injuries  requiring
long-term health care. The Israelis have surrounded all Palestinian villages and
blocked all exits, refusing to allow those with severe injuries
to get medical help outside. Meanwhile the Israeli Army fires into the villages with 
missiles from Cobra helicopter gunships and with shells and heavy-gauge ammo from tanks. 

Israeli invaders of the West Bank, who are given the misleading
name of "settlers," actually live  in  hilltop fortresses above
many of the Palestinian villages.  From  these  fortresses  the
"settlers" fire at will down on the unarmed Palestinian  people
below. In addition to murdering people, the Israeli military is
extensively targeting infrastructure,  with  the  intention  of
destroying  the  Palestinian  economy.   Under   the  guise  of
"retaliation," "destroying sniper hiding places" or "protecting
Israeli settlers,"  Israeli  helicopter  gunships   have  fired
missiles into Gaza TV studios, factories, office suites, police
stations   and   administrative   centers  of  the  Palestinian
Authority, destroying them all.

VIETNAM:

American Genocide of the Vietnamese People, 1945-1974 "I  would
like  to  say  that  several  months  ago  in Detroit we had an
investigation at which over 150  honorably  discharged veterans
testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia.  They told
stories that at times they had  personally raped, cut off ears,
cut off heads, taped wires from  portable  telephones  to human
genitals  and  turned  up  the  power, cut  off limbs, blown up
bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion
reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot  cattle  and  dogs  for  fun,
poisoned food stocks and generally ravaged the countryside of
South Vietnam, in addition to the normal  ravage of war and the
normal and  very  particular  ravaging  which  is  done  by the
applied bombing power of this country."

 John Kerry Navy lieutenant, leader of Vietnam Veterans  Against
the War in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee 1971 During the Kennedy and  Johnson  administrations
the number  of  murderous  U.S.  military  personnel invading
Vietnam jumped from 23,000 in 1963 to 184,000 in  1966. During
13 years  of  America's  war  against  the  people  of  Vietnam
8000,000 Tons of bombs (like  Napalm and  cluster  bombs) and
defoliants (Agent Orange) were  dropped in total - and at least
3 MILLION  Vietnamese  people  were  slaughtered.   During the
Vietnam Genocide there was even an official CIA program of 
systematic terror, torture and mass-murder called Operation
Phoenix.

COMBODIA:


The direct American genocide of the Cambodian people lasted
from 1969 to 1975. After that the Khmer Rouge, America's covert
clients, took over the job. Estimated civilian deaths:
2,000,000 - 2,500,000 people From the U.S. Air Force carpet
-bombing and the Khmer Rouge combined.

From Derailing Democracy by Dave McGowan: 

Not content with the destruction being wrought upon Southeast
Asia, the U.S. began a massive covert bombing campaign against
Cambodia,resulting in famine, economic chaos, and a staggeringly
high death toll. The desperate conditions created by the bombing 
set the stage for the Rise to power of the Khmer Rouge, resulting 
in yet another round  of  death and destruction for the besieged country. 

From Rogue State by William Blum:

Cambodian Prince Sihanouk was yet another leader who did not
fancy being an American client. After many years of hostility
toward his regime, including assassination plots and the
infamous Nixon/Kissinger secret "carpet bombings" of 1969-70,
Washington finally overthrew Sihanouk in a coup in 1970. 
This was all that was needed to impel Pol Pot and his Khmer
Rouge forces to enter the fray. Five years later, they took
power. But the years of American bombing had caused Cambodia's
traditional economy to vanish. The old Cambodia had been
destroyed forever. 

Incredibly, the Khmer Rouge were to inflict even greater
misery upon this unhappy land. And to multiply the irony, the
United States supported Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge after
their subsequent defeat by the Vietnamese.

LAOS: 

The United States Air Force dropped the equivalent of a
planeload of bombs every eight  minutes for nine years on the
people of Laos, from 1965 to 1973 - over 2,000,000 tons. This
was some of the heaviest aerial bombing in world history.
Estimated civilian deaths: 500,000 people The United States
dropped an estimated 285 million cluster bomblets all over
Southeast Asia during the course of the Vietnam War - seven
bomblets for every man, woman and child. By 1973 it was
estimated that there were at least nine million unexploded
bomblets still lying on Laotian territory. As much as half a
million tons of unexploded ordnance (primarily cluster-bombs)
remains littered all over the Laotian countryside - 35 years
later. Every year, throughout all these past 35 years,
hundreds of innocent Laotian children and civilian people are
murdered or maimed by American cluster-bombs. Bombs dropped by
United States Air Force crews. 

From Rogue State by William Blum:

The Laotian left, led by the Pathet Lao, tried to effect
social change peacefully, making significant electoral gains
and taking part in coalition governments. But the United
States would have none of that. The CIA and the State
Department, through force, bribery and other pressures,
engineered coups in 1958, 1959 and 1960. Eventually, the only
option left for the Pathet Lao was armed force. The CIA
created its infamous "Arme Clandestine"- totaling 30,000, from
every corner of Asia - to do battle, while the US  Air  Force,
between 1965 and 1973, rained down more than two million tons
of bombs upon the people of Laos, many of whom  were forced to
live in caves for years in a desperate attempt to escape the
monsters falling from the sky. After hundreds of thousands had
been killed, many more maimed, and countless bombed villages
with hardly stone standing upon stone, the Pathet Lao took
control of the country, following on the heels of events in
Vietnam.

KOREA: 

Between 1950 and 1953 the greatest devastation was of course
inflicted upon the civilian people of North Korea. The United
States Corporate Mafia Government and military were terribly
frustrated by the heroic determination of the Korean people
and their Chinese allies to be free of American domination. To
teach them the "virtues" of the American way, the Pentagon
began a deliberate campaign of bloody genocide from the air
and on the ground beginning in June 1950, using 20 times more
napalm against the Korean people than it used in World War II.
It was during the Korean Genocide that American military
personnel first started using the term "gook." Many subhuman

Americans felt it was okay to slaughter Korean children and
rape Korean women because  they  were all just "gooks." This
sort of bestial racism is a tradition in the bloodthirsty
United  States  military. War criminals always attempt to
justify their own evil inhumanity by imagining their victims
as being less than human. By the end of America's genocidal
assault nearly 3 million civilian people in  North  Korea  had
died horribly,  either  directly  from  American  bombing  and
massacres or from war-related causes such as starvation  and
disease. The events in Sinchon County are a typical example
of American war crimes in Korea. 

SINCHON:

Sinchon was considered a Communist stronghold when American
troops occupied the town in September 1950. By the time
a North Korean and Chinese counter-offensive was able to drive
them out in early December 1950, racist American troops had
already managed to mass-murder 35,383 people- one out of every
four of the county's 140,000 inhabitants. To this day a local
museum carefully chronicles the extent of U.S. war crimes in

Sinchon: Americans burned 5,484 dwellings and destroyed 618
factories, public buildings and irrigation facilities,
committing the cold-blooded murder of tens of thousands of
people in the process. Then, when American troops were forced
to retreat, they took revenge on women and children. In order
to make the world safe for democracy, American troops murdered
900 helpless civilian people in an air-raid shelter by pouring
gasoline into the shelter's ventilation hole and setting it on
fire. In Wonam-ri, North Korea,  American  troops  locked  502
women and their children in two storehouses  and  then  burned
them all alive too. This was done in December 1950, while
American politicians and military leaders preached from every
pulpit about the terrible threat of "Godless Communism." 

"No refugees to cross the front line. Fire everyone trying to
cross lines." 8th Cavalry Regiment communications log two days
before the No Gun Ri massacre. "American soldiers played with
our lives like boys playing with flies." Chun  Choon-ja - a
12-year-old Korean girl in 1950 survivor of the No Gun Ri
massacre Japan.

JAPAN: 

In August, 1945 there was the truly unnecessary atomic-bomb
genocide of hundreds of thousands of Japanese CIVILIAN men,
women and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dropping the
first atomic bomb, leaving perhaps 100,000 Japanese dead, and
tens of thousands more slowly dying from radiation poisoning.
Three days later, a second atomic bomb was dropped on the city
of Nagasaki, with perhaps 50,000 killed. The ruthless use of
this genocidal weapon was the greatest "psy-op" of all time
- a major example of psychological warfare. The genocides of
the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were America's supreme
acts of international terrorism. By dropping The Bomb the U.S.
Corporate Mafia Government was introducing the world to its
new Master. 1989 American Invasion of Panama.

From Rogue State by William Blum: 

Less than two weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the
United States showed its joy that a new era of world peace
was now possible by invading  Panama, as Washington's mad
bombers struck again. On December 20, 1989, a large tenement
barrio in Panama City was wiped out; 15,000 people were left
homeless. Counting several days of ground fighting between
U.S. and Panamanian forces, 500 natives dead was the official
body count - i.e., what the United States and the new U.S.
-installed Panamanian government admitted to. Other sources,
examining more evidence, concluded that thousands had died.
Additionally, some 3,000 Panamanians were wounded, 23 Americans
died, 324 were wounded. Question from reporter: "Was it really
worth it to send people to their death for this? To
get Noriega?" George Bush: "Every human life is precious, and
yet I have to answer, yes, it has been worth it." The era of
"The Ugly American"  was  announced  on  August 6, 1945. It
continues to this day: "The  hidden  hand  of  the market will
never work without a hidden fist - McDonald's cannot flourish
without McDonnell-Douglas, the designer of the F-15." Thomas
Friedman Ugly American columnist for the New York Times In
addition, the terrorist U.S. military and CIA have trained,
armed, funded, provided intelligence and direct military
support for fascist puppet-regimes and right-wing death-squads
around the world. The Philippines It was just nine years after
the  United States Army Seventh Cavalry slaughtered 300
helpless Lakota children, women and men at Wounded Knee, South
Dakota, in 1890: In a major yet little-known campaign of the
Spanish-American  war, all branches of the U.S. military
committed the mass-murder of 200,000 civilian men,  women  and
children in the Philippines. This genocide was accomplished by
a viciously racist United States Army, Navy and Marines, from
1899 to 1902. Why? Corporate  profit. The Philippine islands
were a profitable part of the old  Spanish Empire. They also
provided a valuable base of operations for the exploitation of
China - which was far more profitable. When the Filipinos
resisted us - with the curious idea that they had a right to
control their own country -  American  soldiers, sailors and
Marines  slaughtered and tortured them. Heroic American
soldiers even murdered ten-year-old Filipino boys. This was
the point in American history when the emphasis shifted from
the domestic abuse and exploitation of Red Indians and
Africans to the far more profitable field of international
terrorism. Mark Twain condemned the genocide in scathingly
cynical terms. So did others among that small percentage of
Americans possessed of a human conscience. President William
McKinley, however, was of the official opinion that the cruel
bloodshed was "God's Will."

Saving Private Power:

The Hidden History of "The Good War"

by Michael Zezima

Soft Skull Press; ISBN 1-887128-45-x 

Saving Private Power is the most provocative history of the
"Good  War" ever published. It questions the ultra-patriotic
assumptions we have been taught since birth. The U.S. did not
enter  WW II to end the Holocaust, to make the world a safer
place, or to stop fascism. The opposite is true. The U.S.
business class traded with Hitler and Mussolini up to and even
during the war. Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh's public
Hitlerphilia were symbolic of the admiration of big business
for Hitler's anticommunism.


Using techniques gleaned from modern advertising, the U.S.
Office of War Information injected anti-Japanese  bloodlust
and hysteria into the population. When the U.S. killed 672,000
Japanese through indiscriminate bombing, even Secretary of War
Henry Stimson wondered why "there has never been a protest
over...such extraordinarily heavy loss of life. There is
something wrong with a country where no one questions that." 

The Red Red Indian Genocide

The Red Indian Genocide "The destruction of the Red Indians of
the Americas was, far  and  away, the most massive act of
genocide in the history of the world." 
David E. Stannard, historian In spite of that fact, the typical
mentally-sleeping American remains only vaguely aware of the
horrific holocaust of American Red Indians. Yet every single
locality where Americans make their homes today is consecrated
to the cause of cruel, racist inhumanity - with the blood  of
Red Red Indian people. Every single locality where Americans
make their homes today is the scene of the murder, rape,
torture and impoverishment of the Red Indian people who lived
there first. But mainstream Americans would choke on their
apple pie if they dared to think about that. Too many Americans
would rather stick their heads in the sand about our evil
history - just as they stick their heads in the sand about what
is happening today. In the centuries after Christopher Columbus
the Butcher, more than 100 million native people fell under the
sadistic, racist rule of the invading European-Americans.
