Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or "disappeared", at the hands of the United States government or armed political groups sponsored by the United States government.
Years upon years of US and global history document very clearly that the CIA has been directly responsible for the murder of 100s of 1000s of innocent men, women and children across the globe in almost every country on the planet while attempting to overthrow democratically elected governments.
Even if we disagree with the policies of those governments and even if those governments hold questionable policies, is it our responsibility to police the globe while abrogating the human and civil rights of so many human beings?
No. It surely isn't.
The United States, in my lifetime, has become the global juggernaut of murder and mayhem dispensing ill-conceived judgment, acting as judge, jury and executioner without civility.
These deeds have been carried out in the name of Americans, in my name, without my consent, without the consent of any of us.
In my name, we are murdering people across the globe.
It is unconscionable. We are murderers, whether we choose to be or not. We are complicit, whether we like it or not.
We should have great difficulty sleeping, eating and carrying on our daily lives.
We don't. Shame on us all.
BUT, shame on the Congress, the President, Mr. Obama, shame on the House, the Senate, the military, and each and every one of us. Shame on us all.
