"America is First in Deranged"

"My criticism of the United States is not concerned with how it wishes to order its own society, but about how its activities spill over into the rest of the world. Its actions in the world too often resemble those of an ugly drunk pushing his way into your living room and puking all over the carpet." Article at counterpunch.org

America is breaching international law at will
Meanwhile, a critical issue - since it focuses on the on-going process of killings and abuse of Muslims - is the ever-more expansive revelation of the US military’s violent abuse of Muslim prisoners. Every day brings new tales of horror regarding the inhumanity of the US military towards its captives not only in Iraq, but also in Guantanamo Bay, and, once again, in Afghanistan. It was not enough to kill Afghan and other Muslim prisoners held captive in trucks and with their hands tied in Qila Janghi; nor was it enough to carry them across to Guantanamo Bay and hold them like captive animals for years without being charged; they had to be kept alive and abused in Afghanistan after the end of the war against the Taliban regime. The more one delves into the whole issue of the large-scale and clearly systematic abuse of Muslim prisoners in US custody, one realises that the US is guilty of war crimes according to the principles that it itself upheld after WWII. www.jang.com.pk
