These are the lunatic left fringe folks who tell us
911 was a CIA operation and intervention in Yugoslavia has
something to do with oil pipelines there. |
I don't know about America being responsible for "everything everywhere," but us "critical lefties" often perceive things as they are.
For example, can you in any way disprove the following words of David North?:
"The historical role of the
United States in the Middle East is a bloody record of crimes against the
people of that part of the world. Every major ally of the United States in
the Middle East and northern Africa—Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
Jordan and Turkey—has been cited by the State Department for gross abuses of
human rights. Israel, that exemplar of American-supported democracy, rules
over the Palestinian people on the basis of naked terror."
One needn't have "gone mad" to believe such a thing. The evidence is there. It's also true that Britain, upon conquering the Middle East, sought control over oil resources and divided it up with its allies. In fact, Iraq was essentially a European creation.
