Washington has a long history of massacring people, for example, the destruction of the Plains Indians by the Union war criminals Sherman and Sheridan and the atomic bombs dropped on Japanese civilian populations, but Washington has progressed from periodic massacres to fulltime massacring. From the Clinton regime forward, massacre of civilians has become a defining characteristic of the United States of America.<\/p>\n
Washington is responsible for the destruction of Yugoslavia and Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and part of Syria. Washington has enabled Saudi Arabia\u2019s attack on Yemen, Ukraine\u2019s attack on its former Russian provinces, and Israel\u2019s destruction of Palestine and the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n
The American state\u2019s murderous rampage through the Middle East and North Africa was enabled by the Europeans who provided diplomatic and military cover for Washington\u2019s crimes. Today the Europeans are suffering the consequences as they are over-run by millions of refugees from Washington\u2019s wars. The German women who are raped by the refugees can blame their chancellor, a Washington puppet, for enabling the carnage from which refugees flee to Europe.<\/p>\n
In the article below Mattea Kramer points out that Washington has added to its crimes the mass murder of civilians with drones and missile strikes on weddings, funerals, children\u2019s soccer games, medical centers and people\u2019s homes. Nothing can better illustrate the absence of moral integrity and moral conscience of the American state and the population that tolerates it than the cavalier disregard of the thousands of murdered innocents as \u201ccollateral damage.\u201dhttp:\/\/www.tomdispatch.com\/post\/176110\/tomgram:_mattea_kramer,_the_ If there is any outcry from Washington\u2019s European, Canadian, Australian, and Japanese vassals, it is too muted to be heard in the US.<\/p>\n As Kramer points out, American presidential hopefuls are competing on the basis of who will commit the worst war crimes. A leading candidate has endorsed torture, despite its prohibition under US and international law. The candidate proclaims that \u201ctorture works\u201d \u2014 as if that is a justification \u2014 despite the fact that experts know that it does not work. Almost everyone being tortured will say anything in order to stop the torture. Most of those tortured in the \u201cwar on terror\u201d have proven to have been innocents. They don\u2019t know the answers to the questions even if they were prepared to give truthful answers. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn relates that Soviet dissidents likely to be picked up and tortured by the Soviet secret police would memorize names on gravestones in order to comply with demands for the names of their accomplices. In this way, torture victims could comply with demands without endangering innocents.<\/p>\n Washington\u2019s use of invasion, bombings, and murder by drone as its principle weapon against terrorists is mindless. It shows a government devoid of all intelligence, focused on killing alone. Even a fool understands that violence creates terrorists<\/em>. Washington hasn\u2019t even the intelligence of fools.<\/p>\n The American state now subjects US citizens to execution without due process of law despite the strict prohibition by the US Constitution. Washington\u2019s lawlessness toward others now extends to the American people themselves.<\/p>\n The only possible conclusion is that under Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama the US government has become an unaccountable, lawless, criminal organization and is a danger to the entire world and its own citizens.<\/p>\n
