No, it's not. The banking/financial cabal you support has caused extreme pain and suffering in Chile, Iran, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and others. See my post earlier.

Read "The Shock Doctrine" and "No Logo" by Naomi Klein, "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by Johnathan Perkins, "People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn for starters. There are many more.

There have been invasions, assassinations, killings, military coups, kidnappings, torture, extortion, child/slave labor all in the interests of protecting and promoting certain banks and pirate corporations tied into the global banking system with institutions like the IMF, World Bank, etc. forcing poor/independent yet resource rich nations into debt slavery and submission along the way.

Wake up and stop supporting terror.

They're still developing countries. We too had growing pains but one day they'll grow up to be big, strong nations. Also a lot of those countries you mentioned (Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and North Korea are brutal dictatorships so I'm not sure you're making a very strong point).

Once again, melodramatic. Those countries especially ones like China and Vietnam are developing countries and brutal dictatorships.

Read more. Question more. Check/study your history.

Research what happened in Iran in 1953. Research what happened in Chile in 1973.

Research the history of Guatemala and the United Fruit Company as well as the Panama Canal and Invasion.

The benevolent Shah was a good thing for Iran, he brought order to a fundamentalistic, radical country.
Until he was replaced in 1979 by a monster.

Wow-way to revise history. Some estimates claim 60,000 deaths of men, women and children at the hands of the Shah.
But the most despicable thing about it is that a Democratically elected leader was overthrown to put that Dictator in power for over twenty years.

It's even crazier that you are proud to admit you support such violence and terror.

I wonder if you would support a foreign nation doing the same thing in your home country.

I bet the Supreme Leader has killed far more people.

The Western Oligarchy has routinely installed and supported despots in the Middle East to watch over the Suez, the oil, and the mineral wealth. Now the Asians are getting into the act. The results are proving to be catastrophic. The region is in flames and oil revenue, the fuel that keeps despots in power, is drying up. This is an unmitigated disaster of historic proportions and people are treating it as a game between Christians and Moslems. So far from reality.
