I have been reading a little modern history today from the US Brown University Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs .
It notes that US led wars resulted in in 940,000 deaths since 2001 in conflict zones.
This ignores other indirect deaths such as war related diseases, US military deaths and those linked to them, such as the tasks of contractors.
DT says today ‘CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, ITS’ TIME FOR PEACE.
A friend of the US, the Israel Culture Minister Miki Zohar says,
”….what we’re facing – a regime that is trying to kill innocent people. When you are dealing with evil, this is a different war”.
He should know. Look at Gaza. Innocent people getting killed everyday as they line up for food. And he would be most upset and angry ‘if’ I compared him to a Nazi SS camp commander.
My view is that the US government and Israel acts on a “perception of danger” and not on a “clear and present danger”.
Democracy, which I approve of as a social system, is dangerous in the hands of present leaders, who care for their egos and power and little for democracy and diversity.
