I agree, but the problem as Juan stated is that the courts have given ignorant rulings in the past. And we all know that the ability to win a case is dependent more on having very good (expensive) lawyers than having a legitimate case. I doubt we'll see any cases where USA government pays out large amounts of money for crimes committed abroad.
I have to say I did feel ill after reading this. It's one thing to highlight a persons good points after they die, but to whitewash war crimes is really something else.
" USAID explained that “the principal beneficiary of America’s foreign assistance programs has always been the United States.” Evidence from Haiti backs this up. For every $1 that USAID has spent, less than one penny went directly to Haitian organizations,"
I admit I'm not a political scientist but rather a doctor in chemistry, so i can't speak for your supposed field of expertise but in our field we have to provide evidence for our assertions.
Over 90% of USAID directly benefits US companies and the rest indirectly benefits them. Anecdoatally I know of USAID to pakistani universities for the science requires that they spend the money on US technology. DO some research Bill your embarrassing yourself.
Only apple and oranges to a racist who doesnt see the difference between oppressores and oppressed. CLutching at straws here mate your embarrassing yourself, Bill.
You obviously didn't understand what I wrote, even in European newspapers they list american dead before Iraqis, even though they died in higher number and are non-combatants (and are actual victims of a war crime). And even if it was the case that this was standard ethnocentrism, it doesn't make it acceptable and shouldn't excused. No decent human being would mention the number of dead concentration and death camp guards before they mentioned the number of holocaust victims.
MOst of this foreign aid has been in the form of subsidies for US industries. Its hardly charity. PLus US was responsible for the lack of rule of law in Iraq by the destruction of the state and its infrastructure, standard victim blaming by a racist.
He (Prince) wasn’t exactly a liberal who admired [Insert Monotheistic religion] More like someone who recognized [Insert Monotheistic religion] for what it is, a focused, uncompromising worship of God.
I had a lot of good [Insert followers of Monotheistic religion] friends when I was younger. My best friends, actually. I admired them greatly for their earnestness, sincerity, forthrightness. But I was close enough to see that [Insert Monotheistic religion] took away from people as much as it gave back, if not more. It will never be for me.

Its consistent in European media as well. Plus these are the victims of the United States.
WHy do people always mention the number of dead and wounded American soldiers before they mention the number of dead Iraqis?
Google?
