The American war on Vietnam that killed more than 3 million Vietnamese people was portrayed in America as a “just war” to “defend” the world from the threat of communism. The opposite was true. Many years later America’s elites acknowledged that the war on Vietnam “was a mistake”. It was one big atrocity. The U.S. army was forced to leave Vietnam. America’s imperialism in Vietnam has suffered a stunning defeat at the hand of peasant and defenceless people. The result of the war was: Vietnam is a country left shattered and its people suffering from America’s immoral war.
For more than a decade the U.S. is engaged in an illegal war against Iraq. In 1991, the U.S. orchestrated the first U.S. war on Iraq, followed by more than twelve years of genocidal sanctions and bombing, which decimated the Iraqi society, and took the lives of more than two million Iraqis.

According to UNICEF, the sanctions against Iraq resulted in the death of 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of 5 years old. In May 1996, “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl asked Madeline Albright, US Ambassador to the UN: “We have heard that half a million children have died [as a result of sanctions]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it”? Albright responded: “I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it”. UNICEF estimated that the under-5 infant mortality in Iraq in 2001 was 109,000, which has a population of 24 million, compared with about 1000 in Australia, which has a population of 20 million. Iraqi death toll is not being reported and publicly discussed, fearing it will amount to genocidal war crimes against those responsible for the wars.

Well, your thoughts are awfully one sided. The war in vietnam was to protect south vietnam. The US jumped in to a war the already involved the French. They didn't lose to peasants either, they lost to an army better trained in jungle warfare. Hardly defenseless too. The illegal in Iraq? A country named Kuwait was getting invaded 'illegally' by a dictator. The US told Iraq to withdraw, they didn't the US helped Kuwait. The US did NOT invade Iraq during desert storm, they pushed Iraq back into it's own country. 12 years of genocidal sanctions? Come on man, you're not that dumb are you. If saddam wasnt so damn stubborn then those sanctions would of never been enacted. Why don't you talk about the crimes that saddam committed on his own people? That was genocide. Nice try, play again later.

America is not a Christian nation. I'm not sure there is one in existence! Our government is secular--it refuses to recognize one Deity as supreme, leaving the entire concept of God out of Law, Justice, and Politics.
As a result, we have done a lot of strange things as a country. While there are Christians in America, that does not make America, Christian.

this is not the religion that we are combating - it really is a terror team whose aspects are coincidentally Muslim. don't sense too comfortable quoting the Bible - the e book is complete of "a watch for a watch" type comments. As to 9-11: the team that did this were from Saudi Arabia. flow figure.

So, why do you object to killings done by Americans while you think it's ok for Muslims to kill at will???
You are a very sick person with zero intelligence and you know nothing about history. In other words, you are a compound Idiot!

I believe in every commandment in the bible. As far as war goes, I am not into politics, I am not in the military, I have never been in a war nor do I plan to be. I do believe however, in self defense.

When you read The Bible you will understand that those days, though The God was watching over them closely, they did lot of murders and disobey God's commandments.
