Genocide? How about native Americans?

Nk other nation in world history has caused more destabilisation and upheavel across the globe than the USA. Arming terrorists, starting wars for oil, dropping millions of tonnes of cluster bombs over vast areas, spraying civilians with horrible chemicals that caused birth defects for decades, dropping atomic bombs on cities, faking evidence of WMDs, assassinating leaders, constant drone murder-without-trial strikes in foreign nations with "collateral damage", overthrowing democracies, putting in dictators, mass surveillance and the most organised and terrifying system of rendition and torture that has ever existed.

The human cost in death, maiming and misery is absolutely incalculable.

Frankly, I'm really sick of people sticking their head in the sand and not looking closer to home before they attack others because "we're the gold guys" and "they're evil communists".

The hypocrisy is simply stunning.
