    Arrow The terrible massacre and atrocities of America (OP)


    The following is just a partial list of atrocities, massacres, murders, and injuries in recent history for which the United Sates is responsible:

    • 3,000,000 Vietnamese murdered over the course of about 30 years of US aggression.

    • Well over 300,000 Japanese were massacred when the US raided Tokyo and dropped nuclear bombs on the urban civilian areas of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    • 600,000 civilians were killed in Cambodia by US bombing between 1969 and 1975.

    • Over 500,000 people were killed in Laos when America subjected civilians to "secret bombing" from 1964 to 1973, dropping over two million tons of bombs on the country. Over one fourth of the population also became refugees.

    • 100,000 people were murdered in South Korea prior to the Korean War by a brutal repression supported by US forces in 1945. This includes between 30,000 and 40,000 killed during the suppression of a peasant revolt on Cheju Island.

    • Up to 4,500,000 Koreans were killed from 1951 to 1953 during America’s massive slaughter in the Korean War.

    • 200,000 were murdered when the Philippines were conquered by American forces. (This took place just over 100 years ago.)

    • 23,000 people were slaughtered in Taiwan by US-backed, trained, equipped, and funded forces (Chiang’s Nationalist Army) during the late 1940s.

    • 700,000 Indonesians (mostly landless peasants) were murdered in 1965 when the US armed and supported General Suharto.

    • 200,000 were slaughtered in East Timor in 1975 by General Suharto with US support.

    • 750,000 civilians were driven from their homes in East Timor by Indonesian forces in 1999 and 10,000 were killed.

    • Over 1,700,000 Iraqis have been killed by US bombings and sanctions, mostly women and children.

    • Over 1,000,000 lives were lost during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s in which the US used direct force and supported Hussein and Iraq.

    • 35,000 Kurds were killed, 3,500 villages were destroyed, and between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 became homeless as a result of aggression by Turkey with US arming and training in the 1990s.

    • Over 1,000,000 people were killed in Afghanistan’s civil war from 1979 to 1992, backed by US CIA support for Taliban to take power.

    • 45,000 people were killed in South Lebanon since 1982 by Israel, always armed and supported by the US

    • Thousands have been killed in Palestine and millions (in both Palestine and Lebanon) were made refugees by US-backed Israel.

    • Over 150,000 were killed in Greece when America advised, equipped, and financed violent interventions in the late 1940s and late 1960s.

    • Over 75,000 civilians were killed and over one million refugees were created in El Salvador from 1980 to 1994 when the US intensely supported the efforts of a brutal regime and its death squads to eliminate a popular uprising.

    • 40,000 civilians were killed by the US-backed National Guard in Nicaragua over the course of almost 50 years.

    • 30,000 lives were killed by the US contras in Nicaragua from 1979 to 1989.

    • 200,000 Guatemalans were slaughtered from 1960-1990s by a military apparatus trained, armed, funded, and assisted by America.

    • Over 35,000 Colombian civilians have been killed during the US-supported Colombian war against left-wing rebels.

    • More than 4,000 innocent civilians were killed in Panama during the US invasion in 1989.

    • Hundreds of thousands were killed by US direct and indirect interventions in Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, and Argentina from the mid 60s through the 80s.

    • 50,000 Haitians were killed when the US military destroyed a peasant uprising in 1915.

    • Between 4,000 and 5,000 Haitians were killed in the early 1990s by US-established forces.

    • Thousands were killed in the Dominican Republic during the 1960s when US and Dominican troops crushed a pro-Bosch rebellion.

    • Over 3,000 were killed and countless others injured by US interventions in Cuba.

    • Hundreds were killed or injured when the US invaded Grenada in 1983.

    • Over 50,000 Somalians were killed between 1978 and 1990 by US-supported Siad Barre.

    • Up to 10,000 more Somalians were killed directly by US troops during America’s "humanitarian mission" in 1993.

    • In the US-supported Rwandan genocide, an estimated 800,000 people were killed in just 100 days in 1994.

    • Over 300,000 were killed and 80,000 were crippled in Angola from a US-supported civil war.

    • Tens of thousands were killed and up to 200,000 were tortured in Chad by Hissen Habre with US support during the 1980’s.

    • Over 1,000,000 were killed during Mozambique’s civil war (1980-1992), in which the brutally violent RENAMO forces were supported by the US

    • 1,500,000 were killed between 1980 and 1988 in southern Africa by the US-armed South Africa.

    • Thousands of people in Pacific islands, Puerto Rico, Utah, California, Nevada, Washington, New Mexico, and various other places have been killed, infected, or harmed as a result of US weapon experiments (especially nuclear weapons and weapons using depleted uranium).

    • Hundreds of civil rights activists have been beaten, tortured, framed, and killed in the US by government agencies in recent history.

    • Hundreds of Black Panther supporters and American Indians were framed, beaten, or murdered by the FBI and its cohorts in the late 60’s and early 70’s.

    • Over 1,200 immigrants and citizens in America (mostly of Arab decent) were detained after September 11, 2001, without evidence of law-breaking or terrorist activity.

    • Millions have been killed during America’s recent "War on Terror."

    • Over 2,500 US soldiers and one million Iraqi civilians have perished since George W’s recent invasion of Iraq.

    NOTE: These numbers are quite liberal, the numbers are likely to be much more!

    Source: http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/8-21-2006-106226.asp

    Every year add hundreds of thousands more innocent lives to the total! To them it seems human lives are just like chess pieces in a game and have no significance. They will stop at nothing until they achieve what they originally set out for- World domination!

    Well...sometimes we have members f our families in history that may have done something....lets just say....less than honorable. And heis just trying to protect you from it.

    Example...I shouldn't say this...but... my great grandfather was a pirate and a rum runner.

    I have done a family tree as well as most of my family knows our history. Some of that history is not so honorable, as I mentioned in the example before. My great grandfather did not take pride in what he did, but at that time there wasn't a whole lot of employment opportunitues here in USA for immagrants, of any descent.

    Your family member may not be hiding anything from you. He may be protecting you. Just ask calmly, most of our older generation is willing and eager to tell their history. Some just don't say anything because they are afriad, and or maybe don't want to tell someone whom isn't genuinly interested.

    Hope that helps.

    God be with our elders.Amen

    Re: The terrible massacre and atrocities of America

    Those are big numbers, and even one death is the loss of a world.

    But in modern times, those big numbers are small.

    Consider the following, which reflect much of WHY the US has done what it has done (e.g., sponsored primitive, murderous, but anti-communist regimes--and I'm not saying that was the right thing to do):

    Remember to add 3 zeros after each number.

    So we should be sophisticated in our understanding of the world we live in.

    Re: The terrible massacre and atrocities of America

    Sorry, this list cannot be taken seriously. I mean, stuff like blaming the US for the Rwandan genocide is just too much. Making the US 'responsible' for all the killing in all kinds or wars in which they were not involved is just not credible. In the end the responsibility lies with those that do the actual fighting. Yes, the US often supported one side over the other, but that was usually in civil wars that were already in progress and started by other parties.

    One could easily make a more credible list and still get a fairly substantial body count. No need to start making things up or making ridiculous connections.
