Are you saying that terrorist Chris Kyle and all the other war criminals and terrorists from the Genocide of Native Americans to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, ... are nice people?

Do you have the slightest grasp of "proportionality"?

Do you realize how cowardly you have been in not facing up to these stark realities?

This post is hard to take seriously.

Why would you expect anyone to take anything that poster writes seriously?

Yesterday, CBC said that Americans had reservations about the death penalty. I guess they're willing to make exceptions for the deserving.

Three dead deserves the death penalty but 40,000 or so in Nicaragua gets Reagan a cushy pension and an airport named after him.

And that doesn't begin to scratch the surface of the tens of thousands of Americans who are every bit as amoral as Reagan.

What do you think this says about those who support such vicious terrorists, Smallc?

It couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Bye a-hole.

How about these folks, Shady?

We had lied to nearly everyone, lies that were quickly exposed. Some of those lies to the U.S. Congress, covering up what we had done, amounted to perjury and could have been prosecuted as such. We had allied the United States with South Africa in military activities, which was illegal and impolitic. We had delivered white mercenaries into Angola to kill blacks as a technique of imposing our policies on that black African country. Meanwhile, we-not the "Communists"-had interfered with U.S. commercial interests. We had withdrawn Boeing Aircraft Corportion's licenses to sell five jetliners to the Angolan airlines, and we had blackmailed Gulf Oil Company into putting its $100 million payments in escrow instead of delivering them to the Bank of Angola. We had poisoned the missionaries' efforts to run vital schools and hospitals.

I suspect you are right, Smallc. There truly are a lot of brain dead folks walkin' about, aren't there?

People that would bomb innocents.

Oooooooookay.

Did you perhaps mean, "This is the end of the innocence"?

It was actually supposed to say bomb.

Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia: A brief history of 'Enlarging the problem'

Friday, October 13, 2006

By: Travis Wilkerson

...

The U.S. government enlarged the Vietnam War into Laos for two principal reasons: to put down the Pathet Lao insurgency, which was waging an intensifying war against a U.S.-installed, right-wing dictatorship in Laos; and to stop the flow of goods on the so-called Ho Chi Minh trail, used to bring supplies from north Vietnam to the south, passing partly through Laos.

By 1965, the U.S. military had failed to defeat the Laotian insurgency through police state means. So it turned to bombing the countryside.

Because the Pathet Lao was a popular movement, bombing them meant bombing the people. American bombers targeted village society and its civilian infrastructures.

According to George Chapelier, a United Nations official who witnessed the peak of the bombing in 1969: "Nothing was left standing. The villagers lived in trenches and holes or in caves. They only farmed at night. All of the informants [i talked to], without any exception, had their villages completely destroyed. In the last phase, bombing was aimed at the systematic destruction of the material basis of the civilian society. Harvests burned down and rice became scarce."

Between 1965 and 1973, the United Stated dropped more than two million tons of bombs on Laos, more than it had dropped on Germany and Japan in World War II. The country was decimated. Hundreds of thousands of people had been killed.

And what did the U.S. undersecretary of state have to say? "[The Laos operation] is something of which we can be proud as Americans. It has involved nearly no American casualties."

No not like that. The Vietnam war was a proxy war between communist China and the Soviet Union supplying the North vietnamese and America and south Vietnam.

It is, isn't it, jbg!

How can the USA get away with murdering millions, terrorizing hundreds of millions and have so many people think it is a kind, benevolent nation, a force for good. Especially when the historical record is so clear.

Of the 200 plus armed incursions/wars since WWII, the USA has done 80%!

How many years will it take for the appeals processes to run their course?

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Just amazing.

And what's even worse, jbg, even though the USA was convicted of being the only nation designated as terrorist, see below and at link for further details, there were people who tried to protect that arch war criminal/terrorist, Ronald Reagan, by suggesting he didn't know what was going on.

Though he was as dumb as a sack of hoe handles, he knew full well that his Contras, "the equivalent of the Founding Fathers" (Reagan was right there) were cutting off women's breasts, torturing and killing peasant families, in short, doing everything that the CIA was training them to do.

17. Nicaragua Mining: Self-defense or Terrorism?;Recovery: Is It Reagan's?;Ancestors -- Fifty-Three Fossils Transcript #2229". The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour. April 12, 1984. Senator Barry Goldwater said he was told in a letter from CIA Director William Casey that President Reagan himself had approved the mining in writing. This was confirmed by Secretary Dam on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour: "Well, let me put it this way. All covert action programs are approved by the President or they don't go forward."

(Footnote 17 from same link as below)

The Republic of Nicaragua v. The United States of America (1986) ICJ 1 is a public international law case decided by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ ruled in favor of Nicaragua and against the United States and awarded reparations to Nicaragua. The ICJ held that the U.S. had violated international law by supporting the Contras in their rebellion against the Nicaraguan government and by mining Nicaragua's harbors.

Nothing compared to the North Vietnamese war crimes, or the Chinese war crimes, or the Japanese war crimes of Southeast Asia!

I doubt many felt different here.

What he had going against him was that his guilt is admitted and thus beyond the shadow of a doubt. While juries are supposed to apply a reasonable doubt standard my view is that in capital cases they go further, to "shadow of a doubt."

Posts like these cannot be taken seriously. I sure don't.

On the contrary, Shady, USA war crimes and terrorism have been much worse for the simple fact that the USA has hidden behind a two centuries long lying facade that it is a force for good, the saviour of the oppressed.

Not the slightest bit of truth in that.
