Since World War II, the US has been almost continuously involved in conflict and war.

According to the late William Blum:

❖ The US has attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments.
❖ The US has interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.
❖ The US has attempted to assassinate more than 50 leaders in other countries.
❖ The US has dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
❖ The US has attempted to crush popular or nationalist movements against intolerable regimes in more than 20 countries.

So how does the US facilitate regime change around the world?

    1. Reasons why the US replaces regimes

The desire to replace the regime has nothing to do with what kind of regime or government the country has, nothing to do with a desire for “democratization,” nor anything to do with whether the country carries out executions, smuggles drugs, or kills “Christians.” It's about oil, gold, resources, and the US's access to do whatever it wants in the country.

And for Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, and Iran, it also has to do with these countries' desire to move away from the petrodollar, something the US fears more than anything. And we must not forget the US's hatred of Russia. This results in an eternal desire to weaken and dismantle this enemy, to install a new government, and divide the spoils between the US, the UK, and the EU.

America's true children...a motley band of criminals...recruited from
the Empire's wasteland...

"France no longer recognizes its children," lamented Guillaume Roquette in an editorial in the Figaro weekly magazine in Paris. "How can the country of Victor Hugo, secularism and family reunions produce jihadists capable of attacking a kosher grocery store?"[1]

I ask: How can the country of Henry David Thoreau, separation of church and state, and family Thanksgiving dinners produce American super-nationalists capable of firing missiles into Muslim family reunions in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia?

Does America recognize its children? Indeed, it honors them. Constantly.

A French state prosecutor stated that "A network of French Islamists behind a grenade attack on a kosher market outside Paris last month also planned to join jihadists fighting in Syria."[2]

We can add these worthies to the many other jihadists coming from all over to fight in Syria for regime change, waving al-Qaeda flags ("There is no god but God"), carrying out suicide attacks, exploding car bombs, and singling out Christians for extermination (for not supporting the overthrow of the secular Syrian government.) These folks are not the first ones you would think of as allies in a struggle for the proverbial freedom and democracy. Yet America's children are on the same side, with the same goal of overthrowing Syrian president Bashir Assad.
