It boggles my mind that the government and the media that it controls has convinced a lot of people that these wars are a necessity, that there is a boogeyman somewhere in the middle east, who is plotting a plan to destroy us, that a little loss of liberty here and there is for the greater good.

France 'would use nuclear arms'
French President Jacques Chirac has said France would be ready to use nuclear weapons against any state which launched a terrorist attack against it.
Speaking at a nuclear submarine base in north-western France, Mr Chirac said a French response "could be conventional. It could also be of another nature."
He said France's nuclear forces had been configured for such an event.
France has had an independent nuclear deterrent since 1960, after an arms programme ordered by Charles de Gaulle.
'Odious attacks'
The BBC's Alistair Sandford in Paris says this is the first time that Mr Chirac has so clearly linked the threat of a nuclear response to a terrorist attack.

Someone above mentioned Chavez - yes - he's done heinous things as well - how does that make the heinous things done in the name of "US National Interest" any better?
It doesn't.
It also doesn't mean that they didn't happen.
Welcome to the real world. Its messy, its ugly and lots of people tend to die.
The horrific experiments conducted by the army and CIA at Edgewood Arsenal and Mcgill University,unchecked by any responsible authority,only got worse.
By 1959 ,'___' was a sideshow,compared with another chemical: Quinunclidinyl Benzilate, or B.Z.
Incredibly,this drug possessed effects far more profound than '___' and which lasted for three days,although effects lasting as long as six days occurred at times.
Between 1959 and 1975,an estimated 2,800 U.S. Soldiers were given B.Z. at Edgewood Arsenal.
About this time, Jose Delgado invented a device he called the Stimoceiver.
This was a miniature depth electrode able to receive and transmit electronic signals over FM radio waves.
By stimulating a correctly postitioned stimoceiver,an outside operator could weild a surpising degree of control over the subject responses.
From June 6th to June 10th (1966),the army conducted biological warfare tests in the New York City subway system.
Trillions of bacillus subtilis variant n*ger germs were released into the subway system during peak travel hours.

Epitaph -here is some other factual history that will not be taught in schools:

I've never been really convinced with this whole term "war crime" - as if war is played in some santised game. The rules to war are to get the opposition to admit defeat - if this kills 300 people in a horrible way, is that better than killing 1,000 people cleanly?
So once you are on the subject of war, ALL countries are guilty of war crimes whether its the acts within the war or the lies that are told to cause the war

We should all put together the knowledge we have and make an online "History Book" that tells about the true events that have happened in the world, with the facts straightened. That would be pretty cool.

The thing is that people like you have actually been brainwashed without you knowing it about it to bash and blame the U.S., and more so "Capitalism" and "Imperialism" when people like you don't seem to realize that you have been brainwashed to accept the agenda of those who seek, and are winning at destroying the U.S.
