Musharraf indicted for killing Bhutto

It's about time !!!

Let's think about our murderous chronology:
  • Belgians murder Patrice Lumumba in 1961 because the US wants him dead.
  • Bolivians murder Che Guevara in 1967 because the US wants him dead.
  • Chileans murder Salvador Allende in 1973 because the US wants him dead.
  • Our friend Ferdinand Marcos murders Benigno Aquino in 1983, and he continues to be our friend.
  • Our friend Pervez Musharraf murders Benazir Bhutto in 2007, and he continues to be our friend.
I'm sure there are more; these are just the ones that readily come to mind.

America sure loves murderers, don't we? Ask yourself why.

And then ask yourself why we say "we love democracy", when clearly our core policy is to MURDER democratic leaders.

I can’t wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out Julian Assange.

Like I said, we sure love murderers.
