Noam Chomsky [ Enlarge ]"It's official: The U.S. is the
world's leading terrorist
state nike

headline for the lead story in The New York Times on Oct. 15, which was more
politely titled "CIA Study of Covert Aid Fueled Skepticism About Helping Syrian
Rebels." The article reports on a CIA review of recent U.S. covert operations to
determine their effectiveness. The White House concluded that unfortunately
successes were so rare that some rethinking of the policy was in order. The
article quoted President Barack Obama as saying that he had asked the CIA to
conduct the review to find cases of "financing and supplying arms to an
insurgency in a country that actually worked out well. And they couldn't come up
with much." So Obama has some reluctance about continuing such efforts. The
first paragraph of the Times article cites three major examples of "covert aid":
Angola, Nicaragua and Cuba. In fact, each case was a major terrorist operation
conducted by the U.S. Angola was invaded by South Africa, which, according to
Washington, was defending itself from one of the world's "more notorious
terrorist groups" - Nelson Mandela's African National Congress. That was 1988.
By then the Reagan administration was virtually alone in its support for the
apartheid regime, even violating congressional sanctions to increase trade with
its South African ally. Meanwhile Washington joined South Africa in providing
crucial support for Jonas Savimbi's terrorist Unita army in Angola. Washington
continued to do so even after Savimbi had been roundly defeated in a carefully
monitored free
election http://www.rosheoneprint.fr/nike-roshe-r…e-pas-cher.html ,
and South Africa had withdrawn its support. Savimbi was a "monster whose lust
for power had brought appalling misery to his people," in the words of Marrack
Goulding, British ambassador to Angola. The consequences were horrendous. A 1989
U.N. inquiry estimated that South African depredations led to 1.5 million deaths
in neighboring countries, let alone what was happening within South Africa
itself. Cuban forces finally beat back the South African aggressors and
compelled them to withdraw from illegally occupied Namibia. The U.S. alone
continued to support the monster Savimbi. In Cuba, after the failed Bay of Pigs
invasion in 1961, President John F. Kennedy launched a murderous and destructive
campaign to bring "the terrors of the earth" to Cuba - the words of Kennedy's
close associate, the historian Arthur Schlesinger, in his semiofficial biography
of Robert
Kennedy nike

terrorist war. The atrocities against Cuba were severe. The plans were for the
terrorism to culminate in an uprising in October 1962, which would lead to a
U.S. invasion. By now, scholarship recognizes that this was one reason why
Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev placed missiles in Cuba, initiating a crisis
that came perilously close to nuclear war. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert
McNamara later conceded that if he had been a Cuban leader, he "might have
expected a U.S. invasion." American terrorist attacks against Cuba continued for
more than 30 years. The cost to Cubans was of course harsh. The accounts of the
victims, hardly ever heard in the U.S., were reported in detail for the first
time in a study by Canadian scholar Keith Bolender, "Voices From the Other Side:
an Oral History of Terrorism Against
Cuba http://www.rosheoneprint.fr/ ," in
2010. The toll of the long terrorist war was amplified by a crushing embargo,
which continues even today in defiance of the world. On Oct. 28, the U.N., for
the 23rd time, endorsed "the necessity of ending the economic, commercial,
financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba." The vote was 188
to 2 (U.S., Israel) nike roshe run pas

now some opposition to the embargo in high places in the U.S., reports ABC News,
because "it is no longer useful" (citing Hillary Clinton's new book "Hard
Choices"). French scholar Salim Lamrani reviews the bitter costs to Cubans in
his 2013 book "The Economic War Against Cuba." Nicaragua need hardly be
mentioned. President Ronald Reagan's terrorist war was condemned by the World
Court, which ordered the U.S. to terminate its "unlawful use of force" and to
pay substantial reparations. Washington responded by escalating the war and
vetoing a 1986 U.N. Security Council resolution calling on all states - meaning
the U.S. - to observe international law. Another example of terrorism will be
commemorated on Nov. 16, the 25th anniversary of the assassination of six Jesuit
priests in San Salvador by a terrorist unit of the Salvadoran army, armed and
trained by the U.S. On the orders of the military high command, the soldiers
broke into the Jesuit university to murder the priests and any witnesses -
including their housekeeper and her daughter. This event culminated the U.S.
terrorist wars in Central America in the 1980s, though the effects are still on
the front pages today in the reports of "illegal
immigrants nike

consequences of that carnage, and being deported from the U.S. to survive, if
they can, in the ruins of their home countries. Washington has also emerged as
the world champion in generating terror. Former CIA analyst Paul Pillar warns of
the "resentment-generating impact of the U.S. strikes" in Syria, which may
further induce the jihadi organizations Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State
toward "repairing their breach from last year and campaigning in tandem against
the U.S. intervention by portraying it as a war against Islam." That is by now a
familiar consequence of U.S. operations that have helped to spread jihadism from
a corner of Afghanistan to a large part of the world. Jihadism's most fearsome
current manifestation is the Islamic State, or ISIS, which has established its
murderous caliphate in large areas of Iraq and Syria. "I think the United States
is one of the key cr.
