"It is an outrageous act where the Iranians are going to have to be held accountable," Biden told ABC's "Good Morning America" television program.

Of course the good old U.S. of A. would never get involved in anything as dastardly as those terrible Iranians.

Except if you consider minor items like the invasion of Grenada in 1983, the invasion of Panama in 1989 when good old buddies Noriega and the ex head of the CIA G. Bush had a falling out over drugs.

What about that sneaky Iran/Contra weapons deal. How did that go, something like the U.S. supposedly selling weapons to Israel who in turn sold them to Iran, the monies received was to be used for the freeing of hostages, but mysteriously much of it, courtesy of Ollie North, used to purchase weapons for the Contras, strictly against U.S. law.

El Salvador comes to mind when that do gooder Carter and his successor Reagan supported the military government (dictatorship) during the eighties. Millions of dollars in weapons, military training in that mysterious military training institution in Georgia. Even when National Guard death squads murdered 4 American Nuns also 6 jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter, concluding with the assasination of Archbishop Romero. A 1993 U.N. official report concluded that these Death Squads were funded and traind by the U.S.A.

Then there is Guatemala, the United Fruit Company. The CIA has a long history of involvement in Guatemala, the 1950's thru 1990's. The involvement of the U.S.A. in this country is so extensive that there are libraries of books about their actions, and probably still on going.

All of this is just basically in one small local corner of the world, makes one wonder.
