Announcing the Iraq war was ended, Barack Obama told US troops on 14 December 2011, "The United States military is the finest fighting force in the history of the world." What he didn't say is that since 1945 the US military has been directly responsible for the deaths of over 10 million people and that America has in that time overthrown 50 governments, including democracies, and intervened in at least 30 more. John Pilger has something to say about that.

  • Odd how Iran has attacked no one in hundreds of years...and yet ...they are "a danger to the world". It seems to me the US is setting all the World Records for War Crimes committed. Millions of civilians have been "put to eternal sleep" on "accident". Torture, rape, destruction of infrastructure, killing for sport, theft, racism etc etc etc. Yet, "we gotta get Iran". This is like Charles Manson working for the Homicide division of a Police Force.

  • How can they say they are the greatest troops in the world i love americans but im sorry Great Britain had the biggest empire controllerd quater of the earth and we are a island wer helped to develope the hole world without britain america wouldnt be what it is today because they would be speaking french or spanish.

  • @skaterri There is too much hierarchy to think this is all 'for the good of the people'. The only thing this breeds is bitterness and resentment in other countries its fine now while the powerful get fat and rich its later down the line our families will pay. Since when is america the only country that can do something? The price to pay for that might be costly but the empowered wont give a shit. America is the only country screaming 'TERRORISM'... warmongerers.

  • So are we spose to let the countries ripping themselves apart continue to kill rape and tourture there own civilians? Or as american should we step in and do whats right no matter what othere people think of us?
