    U.S. GOVERNMENT ASSASSINATION PLOTS

    The U.S. bombing of Iraq, June 26, 1993, in retaliation for an alleged Iraqi plot to assassinate former president George Bush, "was essential," said President Clinton, "to send a message to those who engage in state-sponsored terrorism ... and to affirm the expectation of civilized behavior among nations." *

    Diem was said to be corrupt by the US government and with their support, he was murdered.

    Three weeks after Diem was assassinated, Kennedy visited Dallas.

    Until they were moved to a shared dormitory a month ago, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox had also been held in Closed Cell Restriction for nearly 36 years, the longest serving solitary prisoners in the world. They had similarly been convicted of the murder of a white prison guard - a crime even the guard's widow doubts they carried out.

    OMG, Never thought the US would assinate the leader of an Nato country, especially not one from Europe because of the close relation between the US and Western Europe. De Gaulle....wow never thought it. However he was anti US imperialisme, but ofcourse he opposed American Imperialism to let French Imperialism grow.
    Let no one charge that socialists have arrayed class against class in this struggle. That has been done long since in the evolution of capitalist society. One class is small and rich and the other large and poor....One consists of capitalists and the other of workers. These two classes are at war. Every day of peace is at the expense of labor. There can be no peace and good will between these two essentially antagonistic economic classes. - Debs

    If my memory of Haitian History is right, wouldn't it have been good if we'd killed papa doc? Or maybe I'm confusing him with his son baby doc.

    I don't know anything (much) about either of them. It would not be good. The United States, or as you put it, "we", are not God. Interference in other places/countries/cultures/lives is not something which I encourage.

    I know the British are equilly bad...

    In the falkland's war the French were selling Exerset misslies to the Argentinians. The british repeatedly asked them to stop. Every time they did the french said they would but they carried on any way. Well some time later the french minister involved was found dead in "suspicious cercumstances". *

    * Blatent cover up, probably to avoid an international incedent.
