If evil is the cause of suffering, then the USA is currently the most evil nation on the planet. In addition to its warmongering, arms exports, support for war crime regimes, it is responsible for a quarter of all environmental damage done to this planet.
Enemy of the planet
No other nation is doing as much harm to our planet as the USA. The USA stands head and shoulders above all other nations on this planet in its contribution to human suffering. It is a warmongering, mass murdering, mass polluting, hubristic, imperialist, belligerent, malevolent, hypocritical nation of self centred, greedy consumers.
TORTURE NATION
In the rest of the world it is common knowledge that torture is a totally ineffective useless method of extracting true information. The victims always tell their torturers whatever they think they want to hear to stop the torture. Either Americas are too stupid to know this or they have a psychopathic sadistic need to inflict pain.
Intelligence is not a quality that Americans look for in a president.
Its a case of the stupid choosing the stupid
Stupid people vote for stupid people. What kind of a fucked up nation would select someone like G.W. Bush to lead it?
SELFISHNESS
School yard bully
America is the school yard bully of the world, a self appointed leader of the world, the alpha male of nations.
Americans seem to think they have a God given right to control the world.
A megalomaniac of a nation.
Might is right.
Using their military might and the almighty dollar they force their wishes on the rest of humanity. They routinely hold the United Nations to ransom, holding back their yearly fees when they do not get their way.
An inability to comprehend the big picture.
Americans repeatedly display mind-blowing arrogance, self centered greed, a complete lack of foresight, zero compassion, a complete disregard for human rights, a psychopath like lack of conscience and total disrespect for the world community.
Human rights, fairness, sharing and compassion are concepts that Americans seem incapable of comprehending. These are concepts foreign to the American psyche.
Military spending
The America military budget is more than 40% of the total world arms budget. In other words they spend more money on weapons than the next thirty most powerfull countries of the world put together.
Military Might
The USA spends a larger proportion of its national budget on weapons than any other country on this planet, except maybe North Korea and Israel.
A War Monger
A nation that makes up less than 5% of the world population yet spends more than 40% of the worlds total arms expenditure.
Warped Priorities
The percentage of their national budget spent on education is the lowest in the developed world.
Now why am I not surprised by these figures?
Arms Sales
Americans are by far the biggest arms exporters on this planet.
There is nothing that reveals a nation's moral bankruptcy like its arms export figures.
Nothing reveals its callous greed, nothing reveals its cold-blooded lust for profit more than the amount of weapons that it exports.
Blood Money
Americans are prepared to step over the mutilated corpses of children for profit.
ROGUE NATION
Rejection of Treaties
American arrogance is reflected by the way they constantly refuse to sign and ratify agreements, conventions and treaties that the rest of the world have agreed to.
America is a renegade, rogue nation that has absolutely no regard for the rest of humanity.
1. They refuse to back an international criminal court on war crimes.
The International Criminal Court is all about human rights. It is an attempt by the world community to reduce the prevalence of crimes against humanity by holding people accountable for the war crimes that they have committed. It should serve as a deterrent, discouraging future war criminals from committing their heinous acts. Not only has America refused to back this noble cause but they are attempting to scuttle the whole project by threatening to withdraw their UN peace keepers from Bosnia if it goes ahead. This is mind-blowing arrogance.
Hypocrisy
They claim to be champions of human rights but obviously they are not interested in reducing human rights abuses.
They actually expect American solders to be exempt from prosecution for crimes against humanity.
2. The US refused to ratify the most widely accepted human rights treaty ever; the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The US and Somalia, (which currently does not have the governmental capacity to ratify an international treaty) are the only two UN members not to have ratified the treaty. That's right! when it comes to the rights of children the US is in the same ballpark as Somalia.
Once again they show scant regard for human rights.
3. They refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol on climate change,
even though we are heading towards a global environmental catastrophe and they are responsible for 25% of the worlds CO2 emissions, five times more than the global average per capita output.
Americans take it for granted that they are somehow entitled to pollute five times more than the rest of the citizens of this planet.
4. They refused to sign the land mines convention.
Most civilized citizens of this planet are horrified by the innocent suffering caused by land mines. Not christian Americans, they don't give a shit. Their claim that they need land mines for defense is totally ludicrous when one considers that their military budget is 40% of the total world military budget. Everyday children are killed and mutilated by mines. Capitalist mine factories are making profits on this death and mutilation. This is the most immoral behavior possible.
5. Last July the US refused to sign an international agreement designed to enforce a ban on the use of biological weapons.
Crimes against humanity are not something christian Americans are particularly concerned about. The only lives America is concerned about are American lives.
6. They also refuse to sign treaties designed to reduce chemical weapons. Like I said, crimes against humanity are not something that Americans are concerned about.
7. The proliferation of hand guns is a massive problem in South America. They tried to do something about the problem by trying to place restrictions on the sale and transportation of weapons, however this attempt to reduce the carnage caused by handguns was defeated by the US's refusal to participate.
Mind-blowing Stupidity
The frightening consequences of foreign policy controlled by fundamentalists.
The biggest problem facing this planet today is overpopulation.
The United Nations Population Fund was created to help combat this problem.
American fundamentalist politicians are anti family planning so they are withholding $34 million pledged by the previous government to the UN population fund.
The demented reasoning used to try and justify the breaking of this pledge, is that because the UN Population Fund works in China, this somehow helps China's policy of forced abortion.
The fact that the UN is unconditionally opposed to forced abortions and that the rate of abortion has decreased significantly in the places where the UN Population Fund has worked is ignored, because the real agenda here is not anti abortion, it is anti family planning.
The UN estimates that these funds could help prevent 2 million unwanted pregnancies, 4,700 maternal deaths, and more than 77,000 infant and child deaths.
Two million unwanted pregnancies will result in at least 500 000 abortions.
So the result of withholding those funds will be more abortions, voluntary and forced.
This kind of sick irony is so typical of fundamentalist policies.
Fundamentalism is a blight on the human intellect.
Words cannot adequately describe my absolute disgust in fundamentalists.
