Under the guise of a War on Terrorism, and with our tax dollars, politicians started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, and disfigured many; started quasi-wars in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya, where unmanned aerial drones continue to terrorize local populaces; spied on its own citizens through illegal, warrantless eavesdropping of emails and phone calls; assassinated or indefinitely detained foreigners without due process, while claiming the right to do the same to American citizens; and militarized and federalized local police that are increasingly resorting to extremely violent tactics against non-violent citizens, such as Occupy Wall Street.
