Reply #6: Why is this happening? [View All]

I think the US funded genocide and US company stealing the victim's gold and copper would qualify as a worse human rights violation;
but the abuse of prisoners for years is certainly the most public and well known activity of George Bush and the people supporting him.

I think the reason the neo-conservative coalition of companies and politicians is doing it, is because they needed a replacement for the Soviet Union. They needed another great global 'cause' to allow the CIA to continue its foreign policy which the Ford Foundation established in the 1950s.

Without a global 'war' of some kind, the US public MIGHT one day notice things like the US colonization and mining of West Papua, and might even notice the US funding of the TNI genocide aganst the West Papuan people. That is one example; of cause West Papua has for nearly fifty years been the central keystone to US covert foreign and economic policy - what the May Day protestors call "globalization".

It is just rather funny that George Bush has to provide political support of, and US funding of a pro-jihad Islamic military at the SAME time that he is telling the US public that he is at "war" against terrorism.

America is funny;
I'd be laughing excepting for the fact that my friends are being killed by Mr Bush's TNI friends so that your Freeport McMoRan company can keep stealing their gold & copper for the benefit of US shareholders.
