The Hypocrisy of U.S. Democracy and Foreign Policy The U.S. Dept of Defense, the world’s largest landlord, operates 737 military bases in 63 countries with military personnel in 156 nations. America is ready to strike any country to procure natural resources to extend its empire, keep the dollar afloat, and ensure its utopia. The military-industrial complex has put over 80,000 innocent Iraqis and 3,794 U.S. troops in an early grave while burying America in $9 trillion in debt. Alienating humanity and creating new terrorists daily, American foreign policy is a nightmare! Sexually abusing and raping in Abu Ghraib, using WMD in Fallujah, destroying homes, ransacking mosques, and killing innocents across Iraq–America is winning the war of terror. Unprecedented soldier suicides attest to a disenchanted military. At home, the FBI violates civil liberties, while the FDA approves deadly drugs. The CIA concocts phony “slam-dunk” intel to go to war and pursues narco-colonialism with the consent of the DEA drug cartel. Meanwhile, the Dept. of Justice plays politics and says all is well.No government for the profiteers can also be for the people. History curiously repeats itself. While America bombed and burned Vietnam with napalm, Hoover’s FBI was assassinating civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Fred Hampton at home. The Patriot Act is setting the stage for much of the same. America is so “free” that its leaders can lie and kill without punishment, provided they wrap themselves with the flag and invoke the name of God calling it “good against evil.” America’s new “executive order” for the world and secretive agencies doing its dirty work are quickly diminishing its credibility and global influence. Paul Davis is a patriot and prophetic voice to America and the nations of the world. Davis worked at Ground Zero in NYC the week of 9/11 and has traveled to over 50 countries and 6 continents serving in several war-torn nations.
