I feel that the USA has no right to be killing anyone in the Middle East without first taking care of its own homegrown terrorists like President Bush and now President Obama who have violated the Constitution and international laws with the continuing occupation of Iraq, escalation of the wars in Afghanistan, the drone bombing of Libya and Pakistan and countless other illegalities such as rendition and torture. <br /><br />As an American who talks to many people from all over the world, I find incredible acceptance and comraderie from people in 3rd world countries who often tell me: "At last, an American who thinks like us and understands it from our perspective."<br /><br />While Americans rejoice over the death of Osama, I would hope they are ready now to demand the withdrawal of all troops from the Middle East, the monetary compensation owed Iraq, Afghanistan and all the countless people made homeless, orhpaned, or causes loss of limb, mind, etc. by these horrible unjust and illegal wars which the United States has lead NATO.peace-lovernoreply@blogger.com
