11. The U.S. and the UK can hardly condemn the use of mercenaries
The UK hired some of the world's worst mercenary armies to send to Iraq after receiving nobid contracts from the Bush Administration for their 'support' for the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Murderous thugs sent in to 'control' the population. With hardly any outrage U.S. tax dollars paid for these thugs.

Weapons used against the people of all these countries, came from the U.S. and their allies.

As one tweet I saw said, 'the U.S. Empire is awash in a sea of blood'.

As have all empires throughout history been.

Thank you for these threads, Catherina ~ the west has been exposed, by Wikileaks, by their reaction to these revolutions.

Charlie Rose had on, of all people, the war criminal, John Negroponte last night. I felt sick listening to him especially his statement that the best thing the U.S. can do now is to hopefully NOT have to do anything, like intervene, and try to establish relationships with the new governments. And what if the new governments have different ideas?
