No U.S. behavior in the world that in the end will not be dilemma. In the cases of Middle East region, Eastern Europe, East Asia and so on, the U.S. role has always been a scourge to the stability of region. Destruction of nature, human rights violations, occupation and economic struggles over access to oil and so on and so forth are the main missions of the U.S. in its foreign politics.Examples of cases can be seen as in Grenada, El Salvador and Nicaragua, although there is no economic gain promised, but the independence of the third world countries - which are not tied to Washington - will get stigmatized "dangerous". Countries such as this would not be an ally. Economic embargo threat to the military invasion should be ready to be borne by them. Economic factors to be number two. Regional strategy considered to be important.
After the Soviet Union's collapse which was characterized by the fall of Berlin Wall, the U.S. policy has not changed. In 1993 they attacked Somalia with the intent to intervene to restructure the country's political map. The U.S. also intervened to quell the resistance movement in Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. This was done in Latin America in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
The most severe human rights violations committed by the U.S. is in Vietnam. On the basis of allegations that Vietnam was a communist and socialist ideology actor, the U.S. launched a war crime within the course of the Vietnam War, including the illegal use of chemical weapons.
During the Vietnam War, Americans reported to have used at least seven million liters of chemical compounds, known as Agent Orange. How can it be, the U.S. claimed it wanted to disarm the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq by holding the Iraq war, while they themselves clearly using it in the Vietnam War? I can never understand the U.S. policy.
Its impact can be seen in thousands of Vietnamese children born with disabilities. They were spread over a number of hospitals in the city of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Of course, it is not easy for a criminal -- in this case is the U.S. government -- to confess. Therefore, the world community will condemn all of its actions.
There is still one more weapon of mass destruction used by the U.S. in Vietnam, it is White Phosphorus. Chemical element that has the symbol P with atomic number 15 in the form of non-metallic, trivalent many, including the class of nitrogen is commonly found in inorganic phosphate rocks and in all living cells, but never encountered in its free elemental form.
Phosphorus is very reactive, emits a weak glow when combine with oxygen. It can be found in various forms, and Phosphorus is an essential element in living things. Its most important usability is in the manufacture of fertilizers, and it's widely used in explosives, matches, fireworks, pesticides, toothpaste and detergents.
If Phosphorus is used as a weapon -- for example included in the bomb -- the effects of White Phosphorus bombs (as used by the Israeli army to kill Palestinians) will continue to burn as long as there is oxygen on it. Victims who are hit by this powder would continue to burn, as long as there is oxygen in his/her body, even to the bones, and it burns slowly.
This chemical powder was once used by the U.S. forces during the war against Iraq and Vietnam forces. Of course the use of this weapon is very cruel, because it's not only to mean simply killing but also will greatly hurt the victim and eventually be killed.

Here you picking flowers then you slipped it on my guitar strap. Forgive me if at that time I pulled it and threw it away. You picked it again and you're stroking it. You ran crying. You're hugging it tightly.
Now I understand. Your flower is the last flower. Oh, Ceez, please say in my dream. Forgive all my mistakes and my faults.
Here in this room. What remains is only your picture. I keep it close to the my sleep and my dreams.
