Why has America become the target of terrorists? What have Americans done to deserve the death and destruction of September 11?

The fact is that the U.S. government itself engages in terrorism. Now thousands of Americans are dead because the illegal, immoral actions of our politicians have provoked revenge:

1. The U.S. government has killed more than 1 million Iraqis — more than half of them children. Thousands of children are dying in Iraq every month from malnutrition and disease — caused by an embargo imposed by the United States and by the deliberate destruction of water treatment and electric facilities by U.S. bombing. Both of those terrorist actions are illegal under the Geneva Convention.

2. The U.S. government has killed thousands of Yugoslavs, terror-bombing civilian targets including passenger trains, bridges, TV and radio stations, government buildings, and food markets, for 78 days in 1999. Those terrorist actions are illegal under the Geneva Convention.

3. Depleted-uranium anti-tank shells fired by U.S. A-10 attack planes have spread cancer-causing radioactive contamination indiscriminately around Yugoslavia, including population centers.

4. The U.S. government illegally arms, trains, and protects Albanian guerrillas who have cold-bloodedly murdered hundreds of Serbian and Macedonian civilians, and "ethnically cleansed" thousands more from their ancient homelands. Those U.S.-supported terrorists have destroyed hundreds of ancient Christian churches, monasteries, and other structures. They also engage in narcotics trafficking and forced prostitution.

5. The U.S. government illegally bombed a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory on the eve of Monica Lewinsky's appearance before the Clinton grand jury. The strike destroyed that country's only indigenous source of medicines and agricultural chemicals. U.S. officials said the factory made poison gas. That was utterly false.

6. The U.S. government continues to support Israel as it destroys the Palestinian people and their homes, using U.S.-supplied arms and equipment and billions of dollars in U.S. aid:

***

None of those illegal, terrorist acts committed in our name has anything to do with defending America.

Our politicians order terror-bombing and support state-sponsored terrorism in other countries.

Our politicians use our hard-earned tax dollars to kill innocent people around the world. But it is we ordinary Americans and our children who now pay the heavy price for their crimes.
