THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WAR ON TERRORISM. AMERICA USES THIS TERM TO START WAR WITH COUNTRIES THAT THEY SIMPLY DON'T LIKE. Saudi Arabia funds terrorism, North Korea has nuclear implications, and so does Iran, but there's no invasion planned for any of these countries. THIS TERM AND THE ACTIONS THAT FOLLOW ARE THE ACTIONS OF TERRORIST AND ACTS OF TERRORISM, OUR GOVERNMENT IS TERRORIZING THE WORLD. Afghanistan, Somalia, Cuba, Russia, Iraq, Palestine, and many more countries have been terrorized by America and not for the reason they tell us. If America was invading countries for the right reason, our military would be in almost every country on the face of the earth. Instead our government kills innocent people because of oil, drugs and money, not terrorism. So how can the killing of innocent people be o.k. because of some so called war on terrorism. If that was the case we have urban terrorism going on in every major city in america, and cops shoot innocent people all the time. Are these innocent people supposed to be casualties of the so called war on drugs and gangs. No these are people who have been MURDERED by cops who don't know how to do their job and cops who are to scared to face the real criminals so they harass and brutalize innocent people. America has killed ten times more innocent people in the last several wars it has been involved in. Why, because it's cheaper to drop bombs on innocent people than to send the troops in, not only that but this country brainwashes our military to hate people we don't have any reason to hate. Soldiers that are shipped to Iraq, already know all the racist terms used to describe Iraqis before they even ship off. They are taught hate before they go to war, because hate allows you to kill innocent people without remorse. "We can't have our soldiers felling bad for killing the wrong people" that is the attitude our government has for innocent people, they care more about efficient soldiers than the lost of innocent lives. To prove my point, innocent people are killed everyday by gangs here in america, but no one is trying to end gang violence. I know it appears that cops are fight gang and drugs, but believe me they aren't. I was born and raised in one of the most violent cities in america (pomona, ca.) the cops in pomona not only allow gangs to function, they use the gangs to do their dirty work. Ending gang violence is easy, put cameras up in the hood and see how fast the gangs and drugs disappear. The same thing will work for the violation of human rights. Put cameras in these countries violating human rights and watch how fast they clean up their acts. The killing of innocent people is easily avoidable especially since we have no business going to these countries in the first place. What gives us the right to clean up other countries, when our own backyard is full drugs and guns.
