Official Washington and those associated with it have misrepresented the facts numerous times in the service of military actions that might not otherwise have taken place. In the Middle East, these interventions have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Arab civilians, brought chaos to Iraq and Libya, and led to the expulsion of a million Christians from communities where they have lived since biblical times.

Above the Law posted by jude, 2018-04-16 03:01:12
The past two decades have been stained by State crime superseding/displacing local and international law. This trend also extends to state criminal activity against the people and the wholesale abuse of state legal power, which laws were originally developed and encoded over time and enshrined by States to protect nations and their populations.
