Jedda -- It can no longer be hidden: The extreme surge in America's global military power is suppressing heads of state who stick their necks out to expose facts and lay bare the truth. As this goes against its wishes, America alleges various pretexts to pursue its policies.
But the question here is, who granted America the right to be international judge, prosecutor, and executioner in the name of its own self-preservation? And who granted America the right to label all of its enemies as terrorists and reactionaries?
And who granted America the right to make the sound of bombs louder than the voice of the law? And why does America spend millions of dollars on mountains of weapons here and there, while children are dying everyday? How does the world benefit from War in the Stars [Star Wars]?
Is there any mercy, pity, etc. left in the armies of communications and information experts, who have been used and are still being used to brainwash the public until there's nothing but misguidance, deceit, duplicity and lies? All that seems to matter is the implementation of plans to discipline anyone who takes a stand against America.
Where are the reforms and the positive effects that America was to leave behind it in the Middle East? Where is democracy that it calls for from morning to evening? Where is the security that America claims to be working so hard to spread among the world's people?
There is nothing to refer to except blood, destruction, shame and infamy. Despite all of America's resources, failure has followed every step toward reform that it has tried to implement. So what value is there in America's presence? What lofty Semitic example does it claim as pride for itself? What was the sin of the Vietnamese when America bombed them with napalm? What crime did the children of our neighbor Iraq commit when America placed economic sanctions on them, denying them food and medicine and causing them to contract lethal illnesses, etc.? And what sin have certain weak nations such as Somalia committed, beyond lacking the domestic strength to properly manage their domestic and foreign politics?
Indeed, the policies that the world leader (America) commits today don't rise above barbarism and inhumanity. And all of these are implemented right under the ears and eyes of international organizations.
