Thank you for saying that. As Americans we bear responsibility for, and can (SHOULD) be ashamed of, what is done in America's name, regardless of for whom we voted. After all, in Iraq alone the US has murdered lots of people who didn't support Saddam Hussein--should we ask for allowances we're not willing to give?
For anyone reading this article, the little blurb hardly does Anne-Ruth Wertheim credit. Although much about her is in Dutch, her bio at http://anne-ruthwertheim.com/en/ is fascinating. Check it out.
"The US provides Israel with billions of dollars of aid per year..." Yes, but that money comes right back to the US to purchase weapons. So the US is kinda over a barrel, since threatening to cut aid to Israel translates into cutting profits for the US war industry. That ain't gonna happen, and the Israelis know it,
Yes, poor reporting by TeleSur, not exactly a top-notch news agency.
Yes, it's a default judgement, because Iran did not show up to defend the absurd claim. I assume that, rather than waste their time defending every little bullshit claim every wingnut Americans cooks up, they'll push it to either the US Supreme Court or an international court and be done with it once and for all.
"The Iraqi government...frustrated by the Obama administration’s foot-dragging in taking it on...."
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Taking "it" on? Taking WHAT on! The corrupt Iraqi government trying to blackmail the US for even more guns and money, which they count while hiding under the bed, checking for flights to London?
All the US's guns and money didn't make a damn bit of difference, nor will continued US support. Vladimir, it's all yours (if you can manage to cough up the rubles).
"...as traditional Democrats in working-class neighborhoods began to vote Republican." Um...nope, not what happened. You lost me right there.
"...raising questions as to whether this administration has a grasp on the constitution."
I don't think there are any questions about this matter.

The first one to pop into my mind is Steve Jobs, who's father was Syrian immigrant Abdul Fattah Jandali.

I was already aware of the details set forth in this article. But I read it anyway because there was no way I was going to miss the comments.
