US death squads and drug war. Millions killed worldwide over decades. USA sucks.

Ending American terrorism must occur at the same time as ending Osama bin Laden\'s (and others) terrorism. Otherwise the terrorism will only get worse. Anthrax and other bioweapons, suitcase nukes, shortrange missile-delivered nukes, etc.. Most of these weapons already exist because the USA developed the technology. That knowledge is now out there. Real Justice and Democracy and Accountability is the only way to end this cycle of violence. And the most terroristic state by far, today, is the USA. The US can start by forcing Israel to settle the issue of occupied Palestine fairly. Israel would do almost whatever we tell them to do if we threatened withdrawing our support for them, and our weapons. The US can stop propping up brutal dictatorships such as the Saudi government. The US can stop some of the brutal sanctions that have killed hundreds of thousands of children in Iraq. The USA can apologize for, and stop, all the activities detailed below. --------------- --------------- Drug War, Death Squad LINKS. Revised. CIA, DEA, FBI, etc. worldwide.

"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling power. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing."  
-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (One Thousand Americans, George Seldes, page 5.)

\"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.\" -Mussolini

\"The only difference between Bush and Gore is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock at the door.\"
-Ralph Nader (Green Party presidential candidate. Election year 2000 quote)

On too many tragic occasions, U.S. trainees have gone on to abuse human rights, to undermine their countries\' democracies, or to enrich themselves through corruption. Please urge your representative to cosponsor the Foreign Military Training Responsibility Act (H.R. 1594), which would make U.S. training programs more transparent and accountable ..."

*9-1999. The South\'s Special Forces. By Michael Steinberg (posted 9/99). Portland Free Press. "However, in 1991 a bland sounding piece of Pentagon sponsored legislation--Section 2011 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations--changed all that. The law allowed U.S. Special Forces to be deployed in foreign countries if their primary purpose was to receive rather than give training there. Perhaps most significantly, this legislation largely exempted Special Forces on these missions from [laws preventing their] training with known human rights violators." Some history: "7th Special Forces Group. The 7th\'s webpage ... During the early \'80s the unit `drafted the initial plan for U.S. military trainers in El Salvador\' and `played a critical role in helping the Salvadorean military grow ... to a counterinsurgency force of 55,000 men under arms\'."

According to figures assembled by the human rights office of the Catholic Archdiocese in San Salvador, in the period between 1980 to 1989, government-sponsored or government-assisted death squads killed 41,048 citizens [in El Salvador]. The equivalent figure for the left-wing guerillas, whom the US sought to defeat, was 776, including kidnappings."
