Seattle WTO Protest, 1999*

China shot down its own weather satellite. The US condemned it.

Uzbek puts on a "show trial". The US condemned it.

US condemns Hezzbolah kidnapping.

US kidnaps Ricardo Palmera among others around the world.

US tortures detainees at Gitmo.

Need I continue or have I made my point and may now ask if you can say hypocrisy? Just asking.

* Not to single out Seattle. This happens all the time in America.

About Me

My Photo
Name: SPIIDERWEB™
Location: Djibouti

Spent many years programming, mostly mainframes. Been in business for myself, sky dived, scuba dived, practiced karate (until the broken ribs & finger), driven a sprint car (unreal). Want the US to be great again and worry it's impossible. I consider myself a moderate because I believe most Americans don't approve of torture, do want everyone to have health care, a pension and/or a job, privacy, freedom and NO WAR. Not too radical. I use profanity like a sailor so you should leave if you are sensitive.
