Death and Destruction: the Real Face of Western Value

Greedy Politicians, Profiteers, Cooperative greedy culture, world domination.

Along with American losses are so many others; people who never wore a uniform in their life, killed in the name of US commerce.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The Salem-News.com YouTube page receives a growing amount of traffic every day and along with that, constant pitches for friendship from fellow YouTube users all over the world.

Many items sent to our newsroom here end up as Salem-News.com articles and reports, and the video included below is no exception. We live in a world of war and pain and death and violence, where people perish in larger numbers sometimes than ever before in the past.

There is Afghanistan, Iraq, Wikileaks in the role of America's conscience, and possibly the most tragic of all, that is Israel's attempt to permanently dislodge the Palestinian population from land that is historically theirs. These are not people who seek to fight anyone in the world, like Israel, and any hatred toward the Jewish state is based in Israel's continual violence against these people.

We write about it frequently and we publish the video clips of Israeli soldiers hurting and injuring peace activists, then discover along the way that Israel bans these videos in their national borders, therefore ensuring that their own people will not be exposed. It is a revolting scenario.

But then look at the history of the U.S. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been the most brutal of all. American presidents convince people that killing Arabs equates to fighting for freedom. The only thing the Arabs ever asked for was honesty and sincerity. They have never found that at the bargaining tables where they face western nations and value system.

This video puts it all into perspective, and it is gripping, brutal and tragic.

Phony wars in the name of Democracy, Freedom, anti-terrorism. But the facts say otherwise... Greedy Politicians, Profiteers, Cooperative greedy culture, world domination.

Since 9/11 over 1.5 million Muslims and thousands of Americans died so far and counting. Enough is enough! Stop the evil of war for the greed, oil, Israeli or Zionists' wishes or any other heinous criminal agenda.
