Quote from peilthetraveler:

Where you get that information as I am 100% sure that it is not even close to being true. 1-3 million civilians killed by the pakistan army in the bangladesh war of 1971.

800k Rwandan civilians killed in 1993

1970s Cambodia...khmer rogue killed as many as 2.5 million civilians.

Ethiopian Red terror, about 500k civilians killed

Iraqi kurds killed by saddam estimated at as many as 150k civilians

Sri lanka killing the tamils...estimated number of civilian deaths about 100k

Darfur 300k deaths

Afganistan from 1978 to 1992 by the taliban 1.8 million

Bosnia 200k

Uganda 500k

Angola 500k

N. Korea 1.5 million

I could list more, but you get the point. (im also leaving out china PRC in which 77 million killed between 1949 and 1987)

So just there are you saying that the US has killed more than 10 million civilians since 1950? (87 million if you include china?)

I dont think so.

I am not counting what one group of people do to another group of people within the same country: civil wars. These things happened here and everywhere else at some time in history. (Although the fact that we are the world's largest arms EXPORTER does put a good part of the bloodshed on US).

I am referring to the murder of people of one country by the military/terrorist actions of people from another country. So yes, I stand by my claim that we are responsible for over 6 MILLION deaths on this planet since 1950 and this makes us the biggest 'foreign' threat in the world.

Agreed.

And add ....

we are the only country to have used nuclear bombs against another and now are the nuclear policechief.

and recently to have sent a proven, totally innocent country to the stone age - 200k - 1mil. (??) dead. Not a single person in jail yet.

We are the biggest threat to world peace and the one guaranteed cause of WW3, should it occur.

our forefathers said to stay out of the affairs of other nations .....

ben like that for 100yrs now :eek:
 
Biggest threat - - - includes those 'true believers' on the right or left who blindly follow their marching orders - - even though 'their guy' ends up doing the exact same thing 'the old guy' did when he was in office. The biggest threat also includes those apathetic morons who care more about the score of the ballgame or results of 'American Idol' than whats happening to their country. - - -
