Letter to My American Neighbours

These are terrible times. The US has become the state that many of us feared they would become without the counterweight of the Soviet Union. Not that the Soviet Union was a force for democracy or justice, but that they contended for the approval of the world's people.

Without contestation, the US has become the new Romans. They support and impose their majesty on any nation that impedes their imperial aims. With "Democracy" as their war-cry they invade any nation that will not bow to their aims, which is not democracy but subservience. Their "New World Order" is simply a catch-phrase for imposing an imperial regime on the world. They stand for the impoverishment and subservience of all peoples for the enrichment of the US. The decimation of Lebanon by the theocratic terrorist state of Israel, maintained economically and militarily supplied by the US is only the beginning. Syria is the eventual target by the most powerful military regime in the mid-east, which also has atomic bombs, Israel.

The only thing that has impeded US imperialist designs is the heroism of the Afghani and Iraqi people. Had they achieved an easy victory oil-rich Iran would have been an easier target, sandwiched as it is between Afghanistan and Iraq. Close by is also the repressive US client-state of Saudi Arabia. But puppet states are not easy to establish.

And of course there is also the countries such as Venezuela, the 3rd largest supplier of oil to the US who is using oil revenues to help their people, rather than enriching big US oil corporations, not to mention Cuba which has been a thorn mainly because they defied American might because the people supported the government, nor Bolivia which has defied the US and would use oil revenues to raise their people above impoverishment. These people can thank the Iraqui insurgents, otherwise they would likely be invaded, like Guatamala so many years ago. Or Grenada, or Haiti, or the Dominican Republic, or Chile under the supervision of the CIA, or Nicarauga by Olier North, and so many other countries. The "Empire" is getting short of troops for it's nefarious ventures.

Hopefully because the american people are waking up and are no longer willing to fight for the profits of corporations cloaking themselves as patriots. "The Rights of Man"by Thomas Paine, one of the great fathers of the American Revolution should be a required readings in schools to counter all the crap that now seems endemic and accepted across this once great country. Lack of dilligence was why Hitler gained power in Germany. Forgetfullness of the values which formed your country is why the US seems destined to the same fate.

Since at this time the US is embroiled in an imperial war, which like in Viet-Nam they will not win and there is an immense deficit of $3 trillion, one can only imagine a bad outcome which WILL affect the American people. A collapse of the US and world economy. Hopefully the US populace will wake up before this happens and somehow manage to turn things around.

As a canadian, whose parents were born in the US, and will also suffer from this US folly, I can only hope that the original beliefs of the constitution of the US will once again resurface and reject the birthing of a fascist America.
