Maybe a nuclear bomb has to go off someplace for Americans to realize the dangers their leaders have chosen for them. From Dr. Joseph Mercola at theburningplatform.com:
Story at-a-glance
- For more than a century, the United States has meddled in the affairs of other countries against the wishes of the very populations we claim to have “rescued”
- Between 1946 and 2000, the U.S. interfered in more than 80 foreign elections. Repeatedly, the U.S. has orchestrated coups to remove democratically elected leaders — all in the name of “defending democracy”
- Hawaii, Cuba, Philippines, Nicaragua, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia, Congo, Iraq and Honduras are just a few examples of countries that have been victims of American imperialism
- America’s meddling in foreign elections has long been rationalized as being done “for a good cause,” but can a nation that claims to value democratic processes undermine those very processes in other countries and call it defense of democracy?
