Yes America is a rogue state isn't it?

America does not respect human rights. It is currently interning a number of people in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba in conditions which are entirely inconsistent with international standards for the treatment of detainees, denying them both the rights of criminal suspects AND the rights of prisoners of war.
America has also supported, and continues to support, numerous tyrannical regimes around the world in which torture, "disappearance", extrajudicial execution and other violations of human rights are widespread.

Yes it is a democracy and yes it does support freedom!

It has not directly ever supported tyrannical regimes. America was forced during the cold war to make decisions about which countries it made alliances with because of hostility to America from Russia and its allies. Hence it moderate support to anti-Soviet governments who could help it in a mutal defence programme against Soviet aggression. Hence its closing ranks with Cuba because of Cuba's links with the Soviets and Soviet intellegence. Hence alliance with South Vietnam and South Korea to prevent Soviet expansion and global domination.
America never supported Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden built up Al Qaeda with his vast wealth he inherited from his families construction business. Help and support from the USA was negligable and was only in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Saddam Hussein came to power by his own efforts.

Rockwell has never realised that just 'cos someone says something doesn't necessarily make it true.
If America told him to jump off a cliff he probably would.

"Because America is a democray" Ah, so that's why GWB is president, because more people voted for him than the other guy.....
"because America respects human rights" I'm sure Amnesty International would agree whole-heartedly with you there.
"because America is at the forefront of the fight against international terrorism" Because America's selfish foregin policy put it the forefront of terrorism targets.
"because America has a free press" Free to print only what they're allowed to print. Or are you suggesting that each American city has several newspapers, each likely to print opinions from different sides of the fence...?
"and treats all its citizens equally regardless of race clour or creed" erm...surely there can't be a single person on the planet who actually believes that! Obviously there wasn't a single legitimate black voter who had their vote taken away from them in case they voted for Gore.
"because America stands for freedom, liberty, peace and justice" Ah, those good old 'inalienable rights'. Hmmm...how can they be inalienable if they can be taken away? I'm not sure anybody on death row feels particularly pleased at their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I guess all that flag saluting brainwashing really DOES work!

Is that the BNP's position now, as you seem to enjoy being a proud member of a neo-nazi party I wouldnt share that with your Kamerads.

have you lived under a stone all your days?
the list of ruthless tyrants supported by the US is endless. without even racking one's brain, some major names pop up, such as Doc Duvalier (Haiti), Christiani (El Salvador), Shah of Iran, Ferdinand Marcos (Phillipines), Augusto Pinochet (Chile), Fulgencio Batista (Cuba), Hissein Habre (Chad), Idi Amin (Uganda), Ngo Dign Diem (Vietnam), Sese Seko Mobutu (Zaire), Manuel Noriega (Panama) Pol Pot (Cambodia), Somoza (Nicaragua), Suharto (Indonesia), Zia Ul-Haq (Pakistan), not to mention Saddam Hessein.
but the list is a hell of a lot longer than that, and the ruthlessness with which each of these fiends oppressed their own peoples, while the US looked the other way and pulled the strings of "geopolitik" is horrific.
stuffed shirt worms like you, rockwell, had better get this straight: the time for creation and knocking down of tyrannical fascists as a sort of "game" is OVER!!!
The people of this planet have collectively had enough of this crap!!!
If you are clinging to the coat-tails of cut-throat fascists don't expect us to pity you when the tide turns...
