Because we're better off than they are, in every aspect of the word.
Being jealous and feeling angry due to inferiority
is just human nature. The peasants of the world
just cant bear it and so, they hate.
Ironically all their suffering and rage means
exactly zero to anyone that matters.
:)
Like always...
Your whole sense of reality is base in the most ridiculuos and ignorant point of view...
By now I can understand your comments..you are totally numb with all that daily crap that surrounds you.
The hate is base in jealousy?...LMFAO
OK...Lets see your current personal mission..you think that Islam is the root of all evil...hahaha
lets give a look at your actions in the Arab world for more than 60 years...
1918-1945:
BREAKING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST:
THE FIGHT FOR INFLUENCE & OIL
1920-28: U.S. pressures Britain, then the dominant
Middle East power, into signing a "Red Line
Agreement" providing that Middle Eastern oil
will not be developed by any single power without
the participation of the others. Standard Oil and
Mobil obtain shares of the Iraq Petroleum Company.
1932-34: Oil is discovered in Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait, and U.S. oil companies obtain
concessions.
1944: U.S. State Department memo refers to Middle
Eastern oil as "a stupendous source of
strategic power, and one of the greatest material
prizes in world history." During U.S.-British
negotiations over the control of Middle Eastern
oil, President Roosevelt sketches out a map of the
Middle East and tells the British Ambassador,
"Persian oil is yours. We share the oil of
Iraq and Kuwait. As for Saudi Arabian oil, it's
ours." On August 8, 1944, the Anglo-American
Petroleum Agreement is signed, splitting Middle
Eastern oil between the U.S. and Britain.
Between 1948 and 1960, Western capital earns $12.8
billion in profits from the production, refining
and sale of Middle Eastern oil, on fixed
investments totaling $1.3 billion.
1945-1955:
REPLACING RIVALS AND WAGING WAR
ON NATIONAL LIBERATION
1946: President Harry Truman threatens to drop a
"super-bomb" on the Soviet Union if it
does not withdraw from Kurdestan and Azerbaijan in
northern Iran.
November 1947: The U.S. helps push through a UN
resolution partitioning Palestine into a Zionist
state and an Arab state, giving the Zionist
authorities control of 54% of the land. At that
time Jewish settlers were about 1/3 of the
population.
May 14, 1948: War breaks out between newly
proclaimed state of Israel, and Egypt, Iraq,
Jordan and Syria, who had moved troops into
Palestine to oppose the partition of Palestine.
Israeli attacks force some 800,000
Palestinians--two-thirds of the population--to
flee into exile in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Gaza,
and the West Bank. Israel seizes 77 percent of
historic Palestine. The U.S. quickly recognizes
Israel.
March 29, 1949: CIA backs a military coup
overthrowing the elected government of Syria and
establishes a military dictatorship under Colonel
Za'im.
1952:U.S.-led military alliance expands into the
Middle East with Turkey's admission to NATO.
1953:The CIA organizes a coup overthrowing the
Mossadeq government of Iran after Mossadeq
nationalizes British holdings in Iran's huge
oilfields. The Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, is put
on the throne, ruling as an absolute monarch for
the next 25 years--torturing, killing and
imprisoning his political opponents.
1955: U.S. installs powerful radar system in
Turkey to spy on the Soviet Union.
1956-1958:
UPHEAVAL AND INTRIGUE IN EGYPT,
IRAQ, JORDAN, SYRIA & LEBANON
July 1956: After Egypt's nationalist leader, Gamal
Abdul Nasser, receives arms from the Soviet Union,
the U.S. withdraws promised funding for Aswan Dam,
Egypt's main development project. A week later
Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal to fund the
project. In October Britain, France and Israel
invade Egypt to retake the Suez Canal. President
Eisenhower threatens to use nuclear weapons if the
Soviet Union intervenes on Egypt's side; and at
the same time, the U.S. asserts its regional
dominance by forcing Britain, France and Israel to
withdraw from Egypt.
October 1956: A planned CIA coup to overthrow a
left-leaning government in Syria is aborted
because it was scheduled for the same day Israel,
Britain and France invade Egypt.
March 9, 1957: Congress approves Eisenhower
Doctrine, stating "the United States regards
as vital to the national interest and world peace
the preservation of the independence and integrity
of the nations of the Middle East."
April 1957: After anti-government rioting breaks
out in Jordan, U.S. rushes 6th fleet to the
eastern Mediterranean and lands a battalion of
Marines in Lebanon to "prepare for possible
future intervention in Jordan." Later that
year, the CIA begins making secret payments of
millions a year to Jordan's King Hussein.
September 1957: In response to the Syrian
government's more nationalist and pro-Soviet
policies, the U.S. sends Sixth Fleet to eastern
Mediterranean and rushes arms to allies Jordan,
Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and Saudi Arabia; meanwhile
the U.S. encourages Turkey to mass 50,000 troops
on Syria's northern border.
1958: The merger of Syria and Egypt into the
"United Arab Republic," the overthrow of
the pro-U.S. King Feisal II in Iraq by nationalist
military officers, and the outbreak of
anti-government/anti-U.S. rioting in Lebanon,
where the CIA had helped install President Camille
Caiman and keep him in power, leads the U.S. to
dispatch 70 naval vessels, hundreds of aircraft
and 14,000 Marines to Lebanon to preserve
"stability." The U.S. threatens to use
nuclear weapons if the Lebanese army resists, and
to prevent an Iraqi move into the oilfields of
Kuwait, and draws up secret plans for a joint
invasion of Iraq with Turkey. The plan is shelved
after the Soviet Union threatens to intervene.
1957-58: Kermit Roosevelt, the CIA agent in charge
of the 1953 coup in Iran, plots, without success,
to overthrow Egypt's Nasser. "Between July
1957 and October 1958, the Egyptian and Syrian
governments and media announced the uncovering of
what appear to be at least eight separate
conspiracies to overthrow one or the other
government, to assassinate Nasser, and/or prevent
the expected merger of the two countries."
(Blum, p. 93)
1960: U.S. works to covertly undermine the new
government of Iraq by supporting anti-government
Kurdish rebels and by attempting, unsuccessfully,
to assassinate Iraq's leader, Abdul Karim Qassim,
an army general who had restored relations with
the Soviet Union and lifted the ban on Iraq's
Communist Party.
1963: U.S. supports a coup by the Ba'ath party
(soon to be headed by Saddam Hussein) to overthrow
the Qassim regime, including by giving the Ba'ath
names of communists to murder. "Armed with
the names and whereabouts of individual
communists, the national guards carried out
summary executions. Communists held in
detention...were dragged out of prison and shot
without a hearing... [B]y the end of the rule of
the Ba'ath, its terror campaign had claimed the
lives of an estimated 3,000 to 5,000
communists."
1966: U.S. sells its first jet bombers to Israel,
breaking with 1956 decision not to sell arms to
the Zionist state.
June 1967: With U.S. weapons and support, Israeli
military launches the so-called "Six Day
War," seizing the remaining 23 percent of
historic Palestine--the West Bank, Gaza, and East
Jerusalem--along with Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and
Syria's Golan Heights.
September 17, 1970: With U.S. and Israeli backing,
Jordanian troops attack Palestinian guerrilla
camps, while Jordan's U.S.-supplied air force
drops napalm from above. U.S. deploys the aircraft
carrier Independence and six destroyers off the
coast of Lebanon and readies troops in Turkey to
support the assault. The U.S. threatens to use
nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union if it
intervenes. 5000 Palestinians are killed and
20,000 wounded. This massacre comes to be known as
"Black September."
1973: The U.S. rushes $2.2 billion in emergency
military aid to Israel after Egypt and Syria
attack to regain Golan Heights and Sinai. U.S.
puts forces on alert, and moves them into the
region. When the Soviet Union threatens to
intervene to prevent the destruction of Egypt's
3rd Army by Israel, U.S. nuclear forces go to
DEFCON III to force the Soviets to back down.
1973-1975: U.S. supports Kurdish rebels in Iraq in
order to strengthen Iran and weaken the then
pro-Soviet Iraqi regime. When Iran and Iraq cut a
deal, the U.S. withdraws support, denies the Kurds
refuge in Iran, and stands by while the Iraqi
government kills many Kurdish people.
1979-84: U.S. supports paramilitary forces to
undermine the government of South Yemen, which was
allied with the Soviet Union.
THE FALL OF THE SHAH AND
THE SOVIET INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN
1978: As the Iranian revolution begins against the
hated Shah, the U.S. continues to support him
"without reservation" and urges him to
act forcefully against the masses. In August 1978,
some 400 Iranians are burned to death in the Rex
Theater in Abadan after police chain and lock the
exit doors. On September 8, 10,000 anti-Shah
demonstrators are massacred at Teheran's Jaleh
Square.
1979: The U.S. tries, without success, to organize
a military coup to save the Shah. In January, the
Shah is forced to flee and the reactionary Shi-ite
Islamists led by Ayatollah Khomeini take power in
February.
Summer 1979: The U.S. publicly supports the
Khomeini regime's efforts to suppress the Kurdish
liberation struggle and maintain Iranian
domination of Kurdestan.
1979: U.S. President Jimmy Carter designates the
Persian Gulf a vital U.S. interest and declares
the U.S. will go to war to ensure the flow of oil.
1979: In response to Soviet military maneuvers on
Iran's northern border, Carter secretly puts U.S.
forces on nuclear alert and warns the Soviets they
will be used if the Soviets intervene.
Summer 1979: U.S. begins arming and organizing
Islamic fundamentalist "Mujahideen" in
Afghanistan. National Security Advisor Zbigniew
Brzezinski writes, "This aid was going to
induce a Soviet military intervention,"
drawing the Soviets into an Afghan quagmire. Over
the next decade the U.S. alone passed more than $3
billion in arms and aid to the Mujahideen, with
another $3 billion provided by the U.S. ally Saudi
Arabia.
November 4, 1979: Islamic militants, backed by the
Khomeini regime, seize the U.S. embassy in Teheran
and demand the U.S. return the Shah to Iran for
trial. The Embassy and 52 U.S. personnel are held
for 444 days; this international embarrassment
prompts new U.S. actions against Iran--including
an abortive rescue attempt.
December 1979: Soviet troops invade
Afghanistan--which the U.S. rulers considered a
"buffer state" between the Soviet Union
to the north and the strategically important
states of Iran and Pakistan to the
south--overthrowing the Amin government and
installing a more pro-Soviet regime.
1980: U.S. begins organizing a "Rapid
Deployment Force," increasing its naval
presence and pre-positioning military equipment
and supplies. It also steps up aid to reactionary
client states such as Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi
Arabia. On September 12, Turkey's military seizes
power and unleashes a brutal clampdown on
revolutionaries and Kurds struggling for
liberation in order to "stabilize" the
country as a key U.S. ally.
Summer 1980: As the Carter administration tries to
bully Iran into surrendering the U.S. hostages,
supporters of presidential candidate Ronald Reagan
cut a secret deal with the Islamic Republic:
promising that the Reagan administration will
allow Israel to ship arms to Iran if Iran
continues to hold the hostages during the coming
presidential campaign to cripple Carter's campaign
for re-election. (Gary Sick)
September 22, 1980: Iraq invades Iran with tacit
U.S. support, starting a bloody eight-year war.
The U.S. supports both sides in the war providing
arms to Iran and money, intelligence and political
support to Iraq in order to prolong the war and
weaken both sides, while trying to draw both
countries into the U.S. orbit.
1981: U.S. holds military maneuvers off the coast
of Libya to bully the Qaddafi government. When a
Libyan plane fires a missile at U.S. planes
penetrating Libyan airspace, two Libyan planes are
shot down.
1981: The Reagan administration secretly
encourages Israel and other allies, such as South
Korea and Turkey, to ship hundreds of millions of
U.S.-made arms to Iran despite a ban on the
shipment of U.S.-made weapons.
From the fall of 1981 through the winter of 1982,
forces led by the Union of Iranian Communists,
Sarbederan, mount an historic resistance to the
Islamic Republic; the uprising at Amol at the end
of January 1982 is brutally crushed by the forces
of the Islamic Republic.
1982: After receiving a "green light"
from the U.S., Israel invades Lebanon to crush
Palestinian and other anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli
forces. Over 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinians are
killed, and Israel seizes southern Lebanon,
holding it until 2000.
September 14, 1982: Lebanon's pro-U.S.
President-elect, Bashir al-Jumayyil, is
assassinated. The following day, Israeli forces
occupy West Beirut, and from 16 to 18 September,
the Phalangist militia, with the support of
Israel's military under now-Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon, move into the Sabra and Shatila refugee
camps and barbarically massacre over 1,000 unarmed
Palestinian men, women, and children.
1983: U.S. sends troops to Lebanon, supposedly as
part of a multinational "peace-keeping"
operation but in reality to protect U.S.
interests, including Israel's occupation forces.
U.S. troops are withdrawn after a suicide bomber
destroys a U.S. Marine barracks.
1983: CIA helps murder Gen. Ahmed Dlimi, a
prominent Moroccan Army commander who seeks to
overthrow the pro-U.S. Moroccan monarchy.
Spring 1983: The U.S. provides the Islamic
Republic of Iran with a list of Soviet agents.
1984: U.S. shoots down two Iranian jets over
Persian Gulf.
1985-1986: The U.S. secretly ships weapons to
Iran, including 1,000 TOW anti-tank missiles, Hawk
missile parts, and Hawk radars. The weapons are
exchanged for U.S. hostages in Lebanon, and in
hopes of increased U.S. leverage in Iran. The
secret plot collapses when it is publicly revealed
on November 3, 1986, by the Lebanese magazine,
Al-Shiraa. (The Chronology)
1985: U.S. attempts to assassinate Sheikh Mohammed
Hussein Fadlallah, a Lebanese Shiite leader. 80
people are killed in the unsuccessful attempt.
(Blum)
1986: When a bomb goes off in a Berlin nightclub
and kills two Americans, the U.S. blames Libya's
Qaddafi. U.S. bombers strike Libyan military
facilities, residential areas of Tripoli and
Benghazi, and Qaddafi's house, killing 101 people,
including Qaddafi's adopted daughter.
1987: The U.S. Navy is dispatched to the Persian
Gulf to prevent Iran from cutting off Iraq's oil
shipments. During these patrols, a U.S. ship
shoots down an Iranian civilian airliner, killing
all 290 onboard.
1988: The Iraqi regime launches mass poison-gas
attacks on Kurds, killing thousands and bulldozing
many villages. The U.S. responds by increasing its
support for the Iraqi regime.
July 1988: A cease-fire ends the Iran-Iraq war
with neither side victorious. Over 1 million
Iranians and Iraqis are killed during the 8-year
war.
1989: The last Soviet troops leave Afghanistan.
The war, fueled by U.S.-Soviet rivalry, has torn
Afghanistan apart, killing more than one million
Afghans and forcing one-third of the population to
flee into refugee camps. More than 15,000 Soviet
soldiers die in the war.
July 1990: April Glaspie, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq,
meets with Saddam Hussein, who threatens military
action against Kuwait for overproducing its oil
quota, slant drilling for oil in Iraqi territory,
and encroaching on Iraqi territory--seriously
harming war weakened Iraq. Glaspie replies,
"We have no opinion on the Arab- Arab
conflicts, like your border disagreement with
Kuwait."
August 1990: Iraq invades Kuwait. The U.S. seizes
the moment to assert its hegemony in the
post-Soviet world and strengthen its grip on the
Persian Gulf: the U.S. condemns Iraq, rejects a
diplomatic settlement, imposes sanctions, and
prepares for an all-out military assault on Iraq.
January 16, 1991: After a 6-month military
buildup, the U.S.-led coalition launches
"Operation Desert Storm." For the next
42 days, U.S. and allied planes pound Iraq,
dropping 88,000 tons of bombs, systematically
targeting and largely destroying its electrical
and water systems. On February 22, 1991, the U.S.
coalition begins its 100-hour ground war. Heavily
armed U.S. units drive deep into southern Iraq.
Overall, 100,000 to 200,000 Iraqis are killed
during the war.
Spring 1991: Shi'ites in the south and Kurds in
the north rise up against Hussein's regime in
Iraq. The U.S., after encouraging these uprisings
during the war, now fears turmoil and instability
in the region and refuses to support the rebels.
The U.S. denies the rebels access to captured
Iraqi weapons and allows Iraqi helicopters to
attack them.
1991: Iraq withdraws from Kuwait and agrees to a
UN-brokered cease-fire, but the U.S. and Britain
insist that devastating sanctions be maintained.
The U.S. declares large parts of north and south
Iraq "no-fly" zones for Iraqi aircraft.
1991-present: U.S. military deployments continue
after the war, with 17,000 to 24,000 U.S. troops
in the Persian Gulf region at any given time.
(CSM)
1992: U.S. Marines land near Mogadishu, Somalia,
supposedly to ensure humanitarian relief and
"restore order." But the U.S. also plans
to remove the dominant warlord, Mohammed Aidid,
and install a more pro-U.S. regime. In June 1983,
after numerous gun battles with Aidid forces, U.S.
helicopters strafe Aidid supporters, killing
scores. In October, when U.S. forces attempt to
kidnap two Aidid lieutenants, a fierce gunbattle
breaks out. Five U.S. helicopters are shot down,
18 U.S. soldiers killed and 73 wounded, while 500
to 1000 Somalians are killed and many more
injured.
March 1992: U.S. Defense Department drafts new,
post-Soviet "Defense Planning Guidance"
paper stating, "In the Middle East and
Southwest Asia, our overall objective is to remain
the predominant outside power in the region and
preserve U.S. and Western access to the region's
oil."
1993: U.S. brokers a "peace" agreement
between Israel and the Palestine Liberation
Organization at Oslo, Norway. The agreement
strengthens Israel and U.S. domination, while
leaving Palestinians a small part of their
historic homeland, broken up into isolated pieces
surrounded by Israel. No provisions are made for
the return of the four million Palestinian
refugees living outside of Israel, the West Bank,
and Gaza.
1993: U.S. launches missile attack on Iraq,
claiming self-defense against an alleged
assassination attempt on former president Bush two
months earlier.
1995: The U.S. imposes oil and trade sanctions
against Iran, reinforcing sanctions in effect
since 1979, for alleged sponsorship of
'terrorism', seeking to acquire nuclear arms and
hostility to the Middle East process. (BBC, CSM)
1995: With U.S. backing, Turkey launches a major
military offensive, involving some 35,000 Turkish
troops, against the Kurds in northern Iraq.
1998: Congress passes the "Iraq Liberation
Act," giving nearly $100 million to groups
attempting to overthrow the Hussein regime.
August 1998: Claiming retaliation for attacks on
U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, President
Clinton sends 75 cruise missiles pounding into
rural Afghanistan --supposedly targeting Osama Bin
Laden. The U.S. also destroys a factory producing
half of Sudan's pharmaceutical supply, claiming
the factory is involved in chemical warfare. The
U.S. later acknowledges there is no evidence for
the chemical warfare charge.
December 16-19, 1998: The U.S. and Britain launch
"Operation Desert Fox," a bombing
campaign supposedly aimed at destroying Iraq's
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs.
For most of the next year, U.S. and British planes
strike Iraq every day with missiles. (BBC)
October 1999: The U.S. Department of Defense
shifts command of its forces in Central Asia from
the Pacific Command to the Central Command,
underlining the heightened importance of the
region, which includes vast oil reserves in and
around the Caspian Sea.
January 2001: Tenth anniversary of the U.S. war on
Iraq: sanctions are still in place and the UN
estimates that 4,500 children are dying per month
from disease and malnutrition as a result. The
U.S. planes, which have flown over 280,000 sorties
in Iraq over the past decade, continue to attack
from the air. In the past two years, over 300
Iraqis have been killed in these bombings.
October 2001: U.S. begins bombing Afghanistan, as
the first act of war in "Operation Enduring
Freedom"--the U.S. "war against global
terrorism."

March 29, 1949: CIA backs a military coup
overthrowing the elected government of Syria and
establishes a military dictatorship under Colonel
Za'im.
1952:U.S.-led military alliance expands into the
Middle East with Turkey's admission to NATO.
1953:The CIA organizes a coup overthrowing the
Mossadeq government of Iran after Mossadeq
nationalizes British holdings in Iran's huge

the next 25 years--torturing, killing and
imprisoning his political opponents.
1955: U.S. installs powerful radar system in
Turkey to spy on the Soviet Union.
1956-1958:
UPHEAVAL AND INTRIGUE IN EGYPT,
IRAQ, JORDAN, SYRIA & LEBANON
July 1956: After Egypt's nationalist leader, Gamal
Abdul Nasser, receives arms from the Soviet Union,
the U.S. withdraws promised funding for Aswan Dam,
Egypt's main development project. A week later
Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal to fund the
project. In October Britain, France and Israel
invade Egypt to retake the Suez Canal. President
Eisenhower threatens to use nuclear weapons if the
Soviet Union intervenes on Egypt's side; and at
the same time, the U.S. asserts its regional
dominance by forcing Britain, France and Israel to
withdraw from Egypt.
October 1956: A planned CIA coup to overthrow a
left-leaning government in Syria is aborted
because it was scheduled for the same day Israel,
Britain and France invade Egypt.
March 9, 1957: Congress approves Eisenhower
Doctrine, stating "the United States regards
as vital to the national interest and world peace
the preservation of the independence and integrity
of the nations of the Middle East."
April 1957: After anti-government rioting breaks
out in Jordan, U.S. rushes 6th fleet to the
eastern Mediterranean and lands a battalion of
Marines in Lebanon to "prepare for possible
future intervention in Jordan." Later that
year, the CIA begins making secret payments of
millions a year to Jordan's King Hussein.
September 1957: In response to the Syrian
government's more nationalist and pro-Soviet
policies, the U.S. sends Sixth Fleet to eastern
Mediterranean and rushes arms to allies Jordan,
Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and Saudi Arabia; meanwhile
the U.S. encourages Turkey to mass 50,000 troops
on Syria's northern border.
1958: The merger of Syria and Egypt into the
"United Arab Republic," the overthrow of
the pro-U.S. King Feisal II in Iraq by nationalist
military officers, and the outbreak of
anti-government/anti-U.S. rioting in Lebanon,
where the CIA had helped install President Camille
Caiman and keep him in power, leads the U.S. to
dispatch 70 naval vessels, hundreds of aircraft
and 14,000 Marines to Lebanon to preserve
"stability." The U.S. threatens to use
nuclear weapons if the Lebanese army resists, and
to prevent an Iraqi move into the oilfields of
Kuwait, and draws up secret plans for a joint
invasion of Iraq with Turkey. The plan is shelved
after the Soviet Union threatens to intervene.
1957-58: Kermit Roosevelt, the CIA agent in charge
of the 1953 coup in Iran, plots, without success,
to overthrow Egypt's Nasser. "Between July
1957 and October 1958, the Egyptian and Syrian
governments and media announced the uncovering of
what appear to be at least eight separate
conspiracies to overthrow one or the other
government, to assassinate Nasser, and/or prevent
the expected merger of the two countries."
(Blum, p. 93)
1960: U.S. works to covertly undermine the new
government of Iraq by supporting anti-government
Kurdish rebels and by attempting, unsuccessfully,
to assassinate Iraq's leader, Abdul Karim Qassim,
an army general who had restored relations with
the Soviet Union and lifted the ban on Iraq's
Communist Party.
1963: U.S. supports a coup by the Ba'ath party
(soon to be headed by Saddam Hussein) to overthrow
the Qassim regime, including by giving the Ba'ath
names of communists to murder. "Armed with
the names and whereabouts of individual
communists, the national guards carried out
summary executions. Communists held in
detention...were dragged out of prison and shot
without a hearing... [B]y the end of the rule of
the Ba'ath, its terror campaign had claimed the
lives of an estimated 3,000 to 5,000
communists."
1966: U.S. sells its first jet bombers to Israel,
breaking with 1956 decision not to sell arms to
the Zionist state.
June 1967: With U.S. weapons and support, Israeli
military launches the so-called "Six Day
War," seizing the remaining 23 percent of
historic Palestine--the West Bank, Gaza, and East
Jerusalem--along with Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and
Syria's Golan Heights.
September 17, 1970: With U.S. and Israeli backing,
Jordanian troops attack Palestinian guerrilla
camps, while Jordan's U.S.-supplied air force
drops napalm from above. U.S. deploys the aircraft
carrier Independence and six destroyers off the
coast of Lebanon and readies troops in Turkey to
support the assault. The U.S. threatens to use
nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union if it
intervenes. 5000 Palestinians are killed and
20,000 wounded. This massacre comes to be known as
"Black September."
1973: The U.S. rushes $2.2 billion in emergency
military aid to Israel after Egypt and Syria
attack to regain Golan Heights and Sinai. U.S.
puts forces on alert, and moves them into the
region. When the Soviet Union threatens to
intervene to prevent the destruction of Egypt's
3rd Army by Israel, U.S. nuclear forces go to
DEFCON III to force the Soviets to back down.
1973-1975: U.S. supports Kurdish rebels in Iraq in
order to strengthen Iran and weaken the then
pro-Soviet Iraqi regime. When Iran and Iraq cut a
deal, the U.S. withdraws support, denies the Kurds
refuge in Iran, and stands by while the Iraqi
government kills many Kurdish people.
1979-84: U.S. supports paramilitary forces to
undermine the government of South Yemen, which was
allied with the Soviet Union.
THE FALL OF THE SHAH AND
THE SOVIET INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN
1978: As the Iranian revolution begins against the
hated Shah, the U.S. continues to support him
"without reservation" and urges him to
act forcefully against the masses. In August 1978,
some 400 Iranians are burned to death in the Rex
Theater in Abadan after police chain and lock the
exit doors. On September 8, 10,000 anti-Shah
demonstrators are massacred at Teheran's Jaleh
Square.
1979: The U.S. tries, without success, to organize
a military coup to save the Shah. In January, the
Shah is forced to flee and the reactionary Shi-ite
Islamists led by Ayatollah Khomeini take power in
February.

Khomeini regime's efforts to suppress the Kurdish
liberation struggle and maintain Iranian
domination of Kurdestan.

the U.S. will go to war to ensure the flow of oil.
1979: In response to Soviet military maneuvers on
Iran's northern border, Carter secretly puts U.S.
forces on nuclear alert and warns the Soviets they
will be used if the Soviets intervene.
Summer 1979: U.S. begins arming and organizing
Islamic fundamentalist "Mujahideen" in
Afghanistan. National Security Advisor Zbigniew
Brzezinski writes, "This aid was going to
induce a Soviet military intervention,"
drawing the Soviets into an Afghan quagmire. Over
the next decade the U.S. alone passed more than $3
billion in arms and aid to the Mujahideen, with
another $3 billion provided by the U.S. ally Saudi
Arabia.
November 4, 1979: Islamic militants, backed by the
Khomeini regime, seize the U.S. embassy in Teheran
and demand the U.S. return the Shah to Iran for
trial. The Embassy and 52 U.S. personnel are held
for 444 days; this international embarrassment
prompts new U.S. actions against Iran--including
an abortive rescue attempt.
December 1979: Soviet troops invade
Afghanistan--which the U.S. rulers considered a
"buffer state" between the Soviet Union
to the north and the strategically important
states of Iran and Pakistan to the
south--overthrowing the Amin government and
installing a more pro-Soviet regime.
1980: U.S. begins organizing a "Rapid
Deployment Force," increasing its naval
presence and pre-positioning military equipment
and supplies. It also steps up aid to reactionary
client states such as Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi
Arabia. On September 12, Turkey's military seizes
power and unleashes a brutal clampdown on
revolutionaries and Kurds struggling for
liberation in order to "stabilize" the
country as a key U.S. ally.
Summer 1980: As the Carter administration tries to
bully Iran into surrendering the U.S. hostages,
supporters of presidential candidate Ronald Reagan
cut a secret deal with the Islamic Republic:
promising that the Reagan administration will
allow Israel to ship arms to Iran if Iran
continues to hold the hostages during the coming
presidential campaign to cripple Carter's campaign
for re-election. (Gary Sick)
September 22, 1980: Iraq invades Iran with tacit
U.S. support, starting a bloody eight-year war.
The U.S. supports both sides in the war providing

support to Iraq in order to prolong the war and
weaken both sides, while trying to draw both
countries into the U.S. orbit.
1981: U.S. holds military maneuvers off the coast
of Libya to bully the Qaddafi government. When a
Libyan plane fires a missile at U.S. planes
penetrating Libyan airspace, two Libyan planes are

1981: The Reagan administration secretly
encourages Israel and other allies, such as South
Korea and Turkey, to ship hundreds of millions of
U.S.-made arms to Iran despite a ban on the
shipment of U.S.-made weapons.
From the fall of 1981 through the winter of 1982,
forces led by the Union of Iranian Communists,
Sarbederan, mount an historic resistance to the
Islamic Republic; the uprising at Amol at the end
of January 1982 is brutally crushed by the forces
of the Islamic Republic.
1982: After receiving a "green light"
from the U.S., Israel invades Lebanon to crush
Palestinian and other anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli
forces. Over 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinians are
killed, and Israel seizes southern Lebanon,
holding it until 2000.
September 14, 1982: Lebanon's pro-U.S.
President-elect, Bashir al-Jumayyil, is
assassinated. The following day, Israeli forces
occupy West Beirut, and from 16 to 18 September,
the Phalangist militia, with the support of
Israel's military under now-Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon, move into the Sabra and Shatila refugee
camps and barbarically massacre over 1,000 unarmed
Palestinian men, women, and children.
1983: U.S. sends troops to Lebanon, supposedly as
part of a multinational "peace-keeping"
operation but in reality to protect U.S.
interests, including Israel's occupation forces.
U.S. troops are withdrawn after a suicide bomber
destroys a U.S. Marine barracks.
1983: CIA helps murder Gen. Ahmed Dlimi, a

Persian Gulf.
1985-1986: The U.S. secretly ships weapons to
Iran, including 1,000 TOW anti-tank missiles, Hawk
missile parts, and Hawk radars. The weapons are
exchanged for U.S. hostages in Lebanon, and in
hopes of increased U.S. leverage in Iran. The
secret plot collapses when it is publicly revealed
on November 3, 1986, by the Lebanese magazine,
Al-Shiraa. (The Chronology)

facilities, residential areas of Tripoli and
Benghazi, and Qaddafi's house, killing 101 people,
including Qaddafi's adopted daughter.
1987: The U.S. Navy is dispatched to the Persian
Gulf to prevent Iran from cutting off Iraq's oil
shipments. During these patrols, a U.S. ship
shoots down an Iranian civilian airliner, killing
all 290 onboard.
1988: The Iraqi regime launches mass poison-gas
attacks on Kurds, killing thousands and bulldozing
many villages. The U.S. responds by increasing its
support for the Iraqi regime.

with neither side victorious. Over 1 million
Iranians and Iraqis are killed during the 8-year
war.
1989: The last Soviet troops leave Afghanistan.
The war, fueled by U.S.-Soviet rivalry, has torn
Afghanistan apart, killing more than one million
Afghans and forcing one-third of the population to
flee into refugee camps. More than 15,000 Soviet
soldiers die in the war.
July 1990: April Glaspie, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq,
meets with Saddam Hussein, who threatens military
action against Kuwait for overproducing its oil
quota, slant drilling for oil in Iraqi territory,
and encroaching on Iraqi territory--seriously
harming war weakened Iraq. Glaspie replies,
"We have no opinion on the Arab- Arab
conflicts, like your border disagreement with
Kuwait."
August 1990: Iraq invades Kuwait. The U.S. seizes
the moment to assert its hegemony in the
post-Soviet world and strengthen its grip on the
Persian Gulf: the U.S. condemns Iraq, rejects a
diplomatic settlement, imposes sanctions, and
prepares for an all-out military assault on Iraq.
January 16, 1991: After a 6-month military
buildup, the U.S.-led coalition launches

targeting and largely destroying its electrical
and water systems. On February 22, 1991, the U.S.
coalition begins its 100-hour ground war. Heavily
armed U.S. units drive deep into southern Iraq.
Overall, 100,000 to 200,000 Iraqis are killed
during the war.
Spring 1991: Shi'ites in the south and Kurds in
the north rise up against Hussein's regime in
Iraq. The U.S., after encouraging these uprisings
during the war, now fears turmoil and instability
in the region and refuses to support the rebels.
The U.S. denies the rebels access to captured
Iraqi weapons and allows Iraqi helicopters to
attack them.
1991: Iraq withdraws from Kuwait and agrees to a
UN-brokered cease-fire, but the U.S. and Britain
insist that devastating sanctions be maintained.

in the Persian Gulf region at any given time.
(CSM)
1992: U.S. Marines land near Mogadishu, Somalia,
supposedly to ensure humanitarian relief and
"restore order." But the U.S. also plans
to remove the dominant warlord, Mohammed Aidid,
and install a more pro-U.S. regime. In June 1983,
after numerous gun battles with Aidid forces, U.S.
helicopters strafe Aidid supporters, killing
scores. In October, when U.S. forces attempt to
kidnap two Aidid lieutenants, a fierce gunbattle
breaks out. Five U.S. helicopters are shot down,

preserve U.S. and Western access to the region's
oil."
1993: U.S. brokers a "peace" agreement
between Israel and the Palestine Liberation
Organization at Oslo, Norway. The agreement
strengthens Israel and U.S. domination, while

surrounded by Israel. No provisions are made for
the return of the four million Palestinian
refugees living outside of Israel, the West Bank,
and Gaza.
1993: U.S. launches missile attack on Iraq,
claiming self-defense against an alleged
assassination attempt on former president Bush two

U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, President
Clinton sends 75 cruise missiles pounding into
rural Afghanistan --supposedly targeting Osama Bin
Laden. The U.S. also destroys a factory producing

the factory is involved in chemical warfare. The
U.S. later acknowledges there is no evidence for
the chemical warfare charge.
December 16-19, 1998: The U.S. and Britain launch
"Operation Desert Fox," a bombing
campaign supposedly aimed at destroying Iraq's
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs.
For most of the next year, U.S. and British planes
strike Iraq every day with missiles. (BBC)
October 1999: The U.S. Department of Defense

around the Caspian Sea.
January 2001: Tenth anniversary of the U.S. war on
Iraq: sanctions are still in place and the UN
estimates that 4,500 children are dying per month
from disease and malnutrition as a result. The
U.S. planes, which have flown over 280,000 sorties
in Iraq over the past decade, continue to attack
from the air. In the past two years, over 300
Iraqis have been killed in these bombings.
