Amerika... fungeerde decennialang als ordebewaker en politieagent – om maar te zwijgen van alle hulp die het uitdeelde.

In his speech on Syria, President Obama claimed, "the United States has been the anchor of global security" for the last seven decades. We doubt many of the people of the world would describe the United States in that way after suffering numerous military attacks, wars, military coups and now drone bombings at the hands of the United States. For many, the United States has caused great insecurity, killed or imprisoned loved ones and undermined democracy, self-determination and a fair economy.
