George Carlin: “Can’t build a decent car, can’t make a TV set or a VCR worth a fuck, got no steel industry left, can’t educate our young people, can’t get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right! Huh? Especially if your country is full of brown people—oh we like that don’t we? That’s our hobby! That’s our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the fuck out or we’ll goddamn bomb them!”

The day the US shot down Iran Airlines Flight 655. The Vincennes sent out multiple warnings to the plane on military channels,
but since it was a civilian aircraft it could not possibly respond to such warnings. When Flight 655 was twelve and half miles from
the cruiser, the ship fired two SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles, both of which struck the aircraft, blowing it out of the sky and killing everyone on board.

President Ronald Reagan, in a statement released shortly after the attack, called the shooting down of Flight 655 by the crew of the
Vincennes a “proper defensive action.” Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr., the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, justified the downing
of the passenger plane, saying that commanders on the ship had “sufficient reasons to believe their units were in jeopardy and they fired
in self-defense.” https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/07/19/vinc-j19.html

US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld helped Saddam Hussein build up his arsenal of deadly chemical and biological weapons, it was revealed last night. As an envoy from President Reagan 19 years ago, he had a secret meeting with the Iraqi dictator and arranged enormous military assistance for his war with Iran. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-153210/Rumsfeld-helped-Iraq-chemical-weapons.html

Why Britain backed down on banning Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons during Iran war: highly-classified Foreign Office file, released at the
National Archives - mustard gas was being manufactured at a pesticide plant north of Baghdad using British-supplied equipment. In the
aftermath of the Iran-Iraq war, it emerged that Britain had been among several western countries which were used by Iraq, often with the
knowledge of intelligence services in those countries

The US is said to have carried out 32 distinct and separate bombing campaigns on 24 different countries between 1945 and 1999. [1] However, the listing below includes later operations as well. In most cases, bombings with aircraft cannot be denied, though in some cases this has been attempted.
