meerkat, unfortunately, unlike me, you are not very diligent, so I will attempt to educate you on historical facts, as opposed to your rabid anti-American rants. Here are some of your luvvie duvvie anti-American, anti- Democratic mates, of which you are totally ignorant or have deliberately chosen to ignore.It doesn't make very pretty reading:
- Stalin and his abhorrent regime, which starved and/or murdered millions of his own people especially the peasants which he abhorred. Ever heard of The Gulags. If you haven't I suggest you visit your nearest library to advance your historical education.
- Mao, who also murdered, tortured and starved millions of his own people. Do you know about Mao's 'Great Leap Forward' which lead to mass starvation or his injunction to his followers to 'Let a thousand Flowers Bloom',which lead to even more savagery being inflicted on his own people by this despicable and violent despot.
- Pol Pot of Cambodian infamy who, unfortunately was never made to pay for the atrocities committed against his own people, resulting in the death of a quarter of the population.
- the despot of Africa Robert Mugabe. Heard of him?
- or that even worse, the despot North Korean Kim Jongil who constantly threatens the Western world with nuclear annihilation. Heard of him?
Discard your anti-Western, anti-American jaundiced bias, and join the Democratic world. You will be happier.
It is true that the Americans did support some of the South American thugs, but it should be seen in the light of the decades long thrust by Communist thugs to infiltrate South American Governments. You will get some insight into this ghastly episode in 20 century history, and the brutal Communist agenda in South America, when,(if you are willing and have a sufficiently open mind), you read how Stalin was able to arrange the assassination of his opponent, Trotsky, with an axe!
