Warrants it.

Who watches us?

And build ovens.........

The us has nothing in common with germany.

Exported weapons of mass destruction, supported death squads, propped up murderous dictators, enslaved millions and started illegal wars in the middle east.

Blame america first, always , and whenever possible.

think they were saying that, just pointing out you seem to be ignoring America's genocide and the horror of slavery.

Mankind has been brutal since day one. The us has always been ahead of the times and always been above what the rest of the world is doing. Slavery was not unique to the us, and even still exists in some countries today.

You okay with that bit of unwarranted, illegal aggression?

So, no, we haven't always been ahead of the times and above the rest of the world.

My Lai Massacre
The My Lai massacre is probably one of the most infamous events of the Vietnam War. The My Lai massacre took place on March 16th 1968.

My Lai was a village of about 700 inhabitants some 100 miles to the southeast of the US base of Danang. Shortly after dawn on March 16th, three platoons of US troops from C Company, 11th Brigade, arrived in the Son My area having been dropped off by helicopters. 1 Platoon was commanded by Lieutenant William Calley and was ordered to My Lai village. They were part of Task Force Barker – the codename for a search and destroy mission. They had been told to expect to find members of the NLF (called Vietcong or VC by the US soldiers) in the vicinity as the village was in an area where the NLF had been very active.

When the troops from 1 Platoon moved through the village they started to fire at the villagers. These were women, children and the elderly as the young men had gone to the paddy fields to work. Sergeant Michael Bernhardt, who was at My Lai, was quoted in 1973 as stating that he saw no one who could have been considered to be of military age. He also stated that the US troops in My Lai met no resistance. An army photographer, Ronald Haeberie, witnessed a US soldier shoot two young boys who he believed were no more than five years of age. Other photos taken at the scene of the massacre show bodies of what can only be very young children.

Those who returned to the village claimed that it took three days to bury the bodies. They were later to report that some of the children had their throats cut and that some of the bodies had not just been shot but had also been mutilated.

Then there's the Highway of death:

Baghdad radio had just announced Iraq's acceptance of a cease-fire proposal and, in compliance with UN Resolution 660, retreating Iraqi troops were ordered to withdraw to positions held before Aug. 2, 1990.

Nonetheless, President George H.W. Bush derisively called the announcement “an outrage” and “a cruel hoax.”

The Home of the Brave™, it seems, wasn’t quite ready to stop the massacre…

“U.S. planes trapped the long convoys by disabling vehicles in the front, and at the rear, and then pounded the resulting traffic jams for hours,” says Joyce Chediac, a Lebanese-American journalist.

“It was like shooting fish in a barrel,” one U.S. pilot said.

Then Idiot-Son continued the slaughter over a decade later, and left an unstable mess behind.

"Mission Accomplished" indeed.

Death squads, WMDs, and South American dictators, racist voting laws are all more recent than Nazi Germany. I'm not saying we should forget but there are very few people left in Germany that were responsible for those atrocities. It's a modern progressive social democratic country and economy now.

And save that "blaming America" nonsense for Free Republic. That kind of talk is straight out of the mouth Bill Bennet and the neo-con war machine.


The Blame-America Crowd Can Destroy America If We Don't Counterattack

Not just the ~6 million Jewish people who were shot(including on the Eastern front!), gassed, and died in many other horrible ways(forced starvation, disease from being kept in horrid conditions, etc.), but plenty of Poles and some Roma & Czechs, too, were exterminated, as were hundreds of thousands of other "undesirables".

For all the terrible things that have happened(the officially sponsored Trail of Tears tragedy, and the killings of tens, hundreds of thousands of Native American civilians at the hands of renegade soldiers and vigilantes, millions more dying from other causes etc.).....we didn't get as bad as Hitler had, at least.

This is what countries do to each other. Hell, we caught an Australian spy not too long ago.
