Anyone have a link to all the countries that the U.S. has attacked?

[Weapon_R]

I remember someone posting a HUGE list of all the nations that the U.S. has attacked in the last 60 years or so, but I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone have a credible link? I need it for my paper!@

[rogue]

The 1986 disco bombing in Berlin resulted in the U.S. airstrikes on Libyan sovereign territory that resulted in 37 deaths, including Libyan president Moammer Ghadafi's infant daughter. It is largely believed today that one of the suspects that was accused of the Berlin disco bombings was an Israeli Mossad agent. Another suspect had been working with the CIA for years.

That has got to be motive enough for the U.S. to invade a sovereign country, don't you think? :)

If anyone else is confused at the US rationale for the invasion, join the club.

The US only gets villified because they are the most visible, there are lots of imperialist states out there that have launched invasions for far less than even that.

The US is villified because it is a villainous nation. They are the only ones that exist today that are able to act unilaterally, without the consent of international organizations that have been incorporated for the maintenance of world peace. The United States knows this - I don't understand how you can defend a nation that knowingly attacks innocent nations and uses scapegoats to help divert international attention.

I could sit here for 10 years and write down a counter argument for anything that you can come up with glorifying the United States. A nation that removes a democratically elected leader (Chilean president Allende comes to mind) and replaces him with a revolutionary leader backed by the CIA does not deserve any sort of respect or admiration..

Btw - Allende was removed and replaced by Augusto Pinochet - Pinochet was the United States pick for the Chilean presidency. Can anyone remember what Pinochet was being charged for?

[Zephyr]

shouldn't canada be on the list too since we "accidentally" bombed ur troops in afgahnistan blah i cant spell im a dumb american stupdent

To think he was Allende's right-hand man too. Pinochet was a psycho. If you want to know what kind of physical and psychological torture his government imposed on people (members of my family included) just ask.

When he came back from England after they deemed him unfit for trial (or some other bs like that) he actually stood up from his wheelchair waving his arms in the air with a cane in one hand.

....ends ranting.

Go for it - I love hearing about this stuff :) I know he was on trial for mass murders and such, and was even nearly given diplomatic immunity from the crimes he committed but some sort of technicality allowed for his arrest.

- he changed our national anthem to include the "heroic" chilean military :rolleyes: (these words have now been ommitted btw, only his supporters include them when they sing it)

- soldiers would constantly check ppls houses for communist paraphenalia

- those who were accused of being a communist would be taken prisoner and tortured, one of the prisons being our national stadium

- groups of prisoners would be flown out in choppers over the middle of the ocean and tossed out (there's a recording of Pinochet suggesting this for Allende and his family)

- to this day there are people who are unaccounted for (i.e. there's no official record of their death, so their family's don't know whether they actually survived the coup or not)

- another form of torture is prisoners would be forced to swim nude out to sea at night, then electricity would be administered to several areas of their body

- prisoners would also be hung by their fingernails as a form of torture

- some were flown over volcanoes and dropped there

Who says I'm defending them? I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of villifying one nation for doing something A LOT of them are doing. Just because the US sucks at it and can't manage to pull off anything without getting caught doesn't mean they are the only nation playing that game.
