This book is worth reading. Don't miss it.


Killing Hope: U. S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II by William Blum


If you flip over the rock of American foreign
policy of the past century, this is what crawls out…

invasions … bombings … overthrowing governments …
occupations … suppressing movements for social change …
assassinating political leaders … perverting elections …
manipulating labor unions … manufacturing "news" …
economic and political sanctions ... death squads …
torture … biological warfare … depleted uranium …
drug trafficking … mercenaries …

It's not a pretty picture.
It is enough to give imperialism a bad name.

Read the full details in:

I've heard about this book from several sources, that it's an absolutely must read.  It lets the cat out of the bag, totally.  The 21st century's so-called biggest power is in reality nothing short of a discreetly prowling monster!

Insh'Allah i will buy this book and read it asap.

Thanks for circulating this important message sister.
