You got it wrong, the one who killed hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans indians and guatemalas alike was Castillo Armas, and all the dictators who followed after him with the help of the USA, but thats all history now and all we can do is learn from it.

Guatemala fuera un gran paiz si tan solo no hubiera dejado ue los e.u. y un puño de traidores se hubieran intrometido en el camino.  Today. Guatemala would be a great country if only those f. traitors and the you know who would get in the way.

@mzindpendent7 I discovered the Kennan quote in the new memoire by anti-war activist S. Brian Willson called Blood on the Tracks (PM Press 2011). When I read the quote I think I bolted upright in my seat: I've been telling people for years that the US has never - not once - stood for democracy in its foreign policy. And there it was in black and white.

Search Volume 1 of 'Foreign Relations of the United States' on the George Washington University website to read the quote in context.

@bapyou wow you have done some good research if only other people were capable of seeing truth like these, instead of supporting and being proud of the US... for doing that :/

@mzindpendent7 "terrorist"

You got it. In the words of Major General Smedley Butler, USMC, "War is a racket: A few profit and the many pay."

Here's another quote:

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6.3% of its population. We should cease to talk about unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization. [W]e are going to have to deal in straight power concepts." -George F. Kennan, U.S. State Dept Policy Planning Study 23, February 1948
