OK fine, I have decided to actually your survey. It is under one condition, though. I want to see your "list" of nations that have committed more crimes than the US, Malrait. First, the justification. Government was created by the people for the sole purpose of somehow making their lives better. All governments that have knowingly and willingly allowed the quality of life of their populaion to deteriorate has committed the ultimate crime a government can commit. Thus, I rank nearly all dictatorships here, as I don't know of any benevolent ones, but I may have missed one or a few. Also, I rank all communist governments here, because again I do not know of any that have bettered the lives of their citizens, rather than indulge in corruption. There may be some governments that have committed more "crimes" as you define then than the US while not falling into either of the categories above, but I do not know of any. I am not going to bother listing all of the nations with a government falling into those categories, because it would take too long and I would inevitably miss some. Now that I, am American, and therefore a nationalist, in your mind, have answered your question, I want to see you list. I also want to watch you deny that defrauding the people that created the government and put their trust in it is not the ultimate crime.

And I forgot to mention, we are not clearing our name by comparing the US to China and the other worst nations, we are simply trying to get you to realize that the situation could be much, much worse, which is something you don't seem to want to believe.

I will provide you with my personal list, I promise, LOL. It is still unfinished as you have seen I take many data into account, and it is difficult to synthetize them all. For the "innocents' bodycount", for example, how do I count the innocents whose death the US is indirectly responsible for? Not easy... Moreover I am in Korea at the moment, so do not expect me to provide the list for the time being. But you shall have it. I am not a coward. I also see you have the nerve to put all dictatorships before the USA. Chile, for example... which would never have become a dictatorship without you!!! There is an interesting paradox here, LOL, isn't there? Malrait

Alright, I have had the situation of Chile hung over me twice now, and probably rightly so, but I admit that I do not know the details of their situation. I only have a rough understanding of what is going on, (probably because the whole story wouldn't make a good headline), so if you or somebody else could fill me in on the past and present situation Chile is in, without personal opinions please, I will probably make an exception in my list for them in my list once I know what happened there.

Anyone who has read Noam Chomsky knows that the USA has a hidden history of terrorizing the world and actively fighting against freedom and democracy by, among other things, rewarding and encouraging injustices. But the USA has not kept half of Europe in a iron grip for half a century like the USSR. The USA has not started any social reforms that killed millions like the PRC. Power corrupts and absolute power (ie. American Hyperpower) corrupts absolutely, demonstrated adequately by George W. Bush and the entire Chicken Hawk Junta that runs the USA. I would say that the USA, the USSR and the PRC as the post WWII super powers are probably on a split first place in regards to crimes against humanity. They are empires and act as such. PS: I don't hate America, the American culture or the American people. I'm just saying your government is acting insane.
