At the end of WWII, US General Eisenhower let 700,000-1,000,000 German POWs starve in prison camps.
The Tokyo firebombings are supposed to have killed at least 100,000 innocent civilians.
And yet we are supposed to be the good guys.
Another atrocity was the US invasion of Iraq, that killed a comparable number of people-- where US troops were purposefully misled to believe they were avenging 9/11. Just sickening.
Let's not forget the brutal 1991-2003 sanctions against Iraq, that led to the deaths of at least 1 million Iraqis, mostly children.
Inolder "3" news:
ReplyDeleteA civil jury in 1997 found Simpson liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5million in damages to the murder victims' families.
Simpson is currently serving up to 33 years in prison for a 2007 armed robbery in which he claimed he was trying to recover his own sports memorabilia.
thanks!

Dr. Fetzer recently interviewed (on his radio show) the Canadian historian who has devoted his career to documenting Ike's atrocities against thousands of German POWs and civilians.
