Appeal To Not Bomb Washington DC

Note - As always, responses are invited.
 
 
Uncle Sam has killed seventeen MILLION people around the globe. Bombing Washington DC will not stop the genocide ...
 
Uncle Sam has the world's largest nuclear arsenal -- and uses it. Bombing Washington DC will not stop the covert industry ...
 
Uncle Sam has the world's largest chemical arsenal -- and applies it. Bombing Washington DC will not end the carnage ...
 
WHAT will stop Uncle Sam's global murder, rape and theft? Without more violence.
 
WHO will stop Uncle Sam's global murder, rape and theft? Without more lies.
 
And HOW?
 
Bombing Washington DC won't end the terror. Nuking Hollywood won't stop the propaganda machine. Assassinating the Lawyers and Doctors won't end the terror. Incinerating Wall Street will only redistribute the stolen goods.
 
Only you and I can stop him.
 
Unsubscribe to him. Boycott his court. Starve his treasury. Secede from his Police State. Turn off his Television. Take his job and shove it. Desert his military. Abandon his medical slaughterhouse. Lay siege to his company store. Bankrupt his bank.
 
Say goodbye, forever, to Uncle Sam. The butcher of the 20th Century.

Dear idiot who won't use his name,
 
Well, that was an intelligent analysis of world events you presented on that Sightings page! I see you seem to hate the USA. No problem. I also disagree with the US military's ability to distort the truth, and its hiding of the truth of all sorts of things from the world, like UFOs, contact with aliens etc etc, but my blood boiled when I saw you name the USA as the butcher of the Century.
 
You must not have studied history.
 
All Governments butcher their own people. The most oppressive Governments butcher the most people. The first prize for 20th century butchery does not go to the USA. It goes to the former USSR. According to Professor R J Rummel (University of Hawaii Political Science Dept) who has spent twenty five years looking at 20th Century Government Democide (genocide by demographics - a Rummel coined term), the Soviet Union, butchered, worked to death, starved and murdered 61 million people. Second on the list, Communist China: 35 million murdered. Third with twenty million people: the NAZI state; forth with 10 million, Chiang Kai-Chek in pre-communist China; fifth with 5.9 million, Japan's Savage military in WWII and China. Sixth: 2 million Cambodians slaughtered by their own Government. Thw 20th Century has been the most brutal. This century is a testament not to the failure of the principles of Liberty (notice I don't use the lame term democracy), but to the awesome destructiveness of the most powerful poltiical force on the planet: totalitarian Government rule.
 
So how can you cowardly state that the USA is a mega-murderer? Their transgressions are infintisimal compared to the suffering caused by Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai Chek and their ilk.
 
And why don't you put your name to your writings? Are you some kind of coward? I notice you are New Zealander. I for one am ashamed to be a New Zealander if people like you rant and rave like you do."
