Not So Blue Skys


I knew there was a reason why so many people have a negative view of the U.S. around the world. At first I thought they were all just jealous of us because we stand for life, liberty, and freedom. Then I realized it probably has something to do with all the people the U.S. has killed, injured, displaced, or repressed over the past half century. Of Course killing and repression are not only limited to last 50 years, but the rate and range of this period is of unprecedented scope. Its pretty simple logic, for all the people that were killed or adversely affected in some way they were survived by family, friends, and loved ones. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that those survivors might harbor some resentment towards the U.S. Take a close look at the following list. It represents the air strikes of U.S. war planes, just part of the larger military assault on humanity.
