ISIS & US Exceptionalism 8-17-2015

17, August 2015                        ISIS & US Exceptionalism ISIS barbarity and claims that Islam condones rape targeting non-believers still falls far short of American Exceptionalism. No, we don’t decapitate but instead we use highly sophisticated killers in the sky (drones), and napalm to vaporize our victims and a significantly larger number of civilians. We supply Israel with $3 billion in aid to oppress and kill Palestinians. ISIS kill rate is far shorter than ours. Our soldiers went on a killing and raping spree (see ‘Kill Anything That Moves’ by Nick Turse chronicles the war in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia)- 3-6 million fatalities. History might be different had we not overthrown the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953; there would be no existential threat to Israel, no ISIS and Iran might have been a great stabilizing influence in the Middle East. Add insult to injury the US reneged on its promise of $4 billion in reparations to Vietnam. While we express disappoint that Japan has not expressed enough remorse for its barbarity in World War II, we have never expressed remorse for invading Vietnam, Iraq and a host of other nations.
