Hitler would have been proud of this particular piece of work.
Then came the era of impunity – invasion of various weaker countries with shock and awe. Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Congo, Serbia, Iraqi, Afghanistan where chemical and biological weapons were extensively used. America was Sadam Hussein’s ally during the Iraqi/Iran war when she supplied Sadam with chemical weapons, use of which he was recently hanged. The latest semi-atomic (so called depleted uranium) and chemical attacks (napalm) being in some cities in Iraq. The sole super power’s play thing now is the running of torture camps remniscent of Hitler's concentration camps across the globe (the last being in Ethiopia where some Kenyans have perished). Like a vampire on the prowl for blood, the super power is now camping in Somalia.The one week battle of indiscriminate shelling has left a trail of hundreds of dead civilians. The battle, initiated by Ethiopian troops and the so called interim government militias against clan chiefs was to clear the way for the visit to Mogadishu by the US Assistant Secretary of State last week. Know what the American ambassador in Kenya said? The deaths were necessary!
Whenever he is, Hitler must be celebrating that this disciple of his is doing so well.

Add these to the list
1) Idi Amin expelled Asians and murdered his own people who defied him.
2) Bokassa declared himself Emperor of Central African Republic, and murdered thousands of dissidents.
3) Mugabe is oppressing his own people and has reduced Zimbabweans to beggars by his own pride and obstinacy.
4) Mobutu Opressed and murdered thousands of Zaireans befor being deposed.
5) Somalia tried to annex North Eastern Kenya in the Shifta War
6) Somalia continues to harbor Islamist terrorists, some of which may be implicated in the 1998 US embassy attacks.
7) Slavery continues to be practiced in Mauritania
8) Blacks are being exterminated in the Darfur region of Sudan.
9) Ehtnic cleansing in Rwanda.
It is so easy to point a finger at America while ignoring atrocities commited by our own brothers. No country on earth has monopoly on evil. Even our own government participated in ethnic cleansing (a.k.a. tribal clashes)
