(Sorry if this is a recent duplicate)
To change the topic a bit from the current ME situation.
I came across this 'Timeline' listing the Actions of the CIA from 1929 to about 1993. I imagine this list was compiled quite some time ago.
It is exactly this type of stuff that over the years has made me painfully aware of what the 'great old US of A is all about'. We constantly hear how America is the 'greatest country on earth', bla bla bla... These actions are not the actions of a great country, nor a moral country, nor a christian country, nor a country who should be dictating to other countries about what they can or can't do.
The thing I fear is that the rest of the world is going to wise up sooner or later and say to themselves, 'we have to unite and cut out this cancer or none of us will ever be safe'. And us, and whoever stands by us (which won't be many) will have hell to pay!
Neither the US, or any other country, regardless of the 'spin', has the inherent right to inflict 'regime change' to meet their own needs, with the exception of declared war. And make no mistake about it, regime change is the policy of the day and it's execution is going to culminate into something really ugly!
