  Every human is a criminal. Every baby, a criminal. Even plants? You guessed it. Criminals.

  I could use some schooling this morning. What was Carter’s crime?

    The Carter doctrine was just an expansion and intensification of militarily defending their “national interests” in other people’s countries. More US imperialism.

    Arming and training the Afghanis against Russia, who would later become the Taliban. Because the shaw of Iran’s CIA operations blowback didn’t teach anyone any lessons.

    Arming the North Yemeni against the Marxist south during the south Yemeni war.

    The Camp David Accords that settled the fighting between Egypt and Israel by settling palestinian lands without involving the Palestinians. It was condemned by the UN for not involving the palestinians and for egypt acting on behalf of the arab league without their agreement. It divided the arab league. Denied palestine statehood and avoided international consensus. Look where this lead us today.

    There is more, but I have errands to run.

      Fwiw, an Afghani is a unit of currency. An Afghan is a person from Afghanistan.

      What crime are you referring to? Giving weapons is not a crime. You could argue it backfired.

  What did John Quincy Adams do? I thought he was cool :(

    Seminole War.

    He oversaw 30 “treaties” with natives as part of America’s systematic removal of people from his lands.

    History writes him as being an advocate who fought for voluntary removal, not the forced relocations, but he was still responsible for stolen native land and colonialism. Bit of a whitewash here as colonialism is colonialism, and he only differed in degree, not principle.

    He signed the Treaty of Indian Springs and later admitted the natives were under duress and it was not in good faith. Later treaties added compensation, but was a pittance of the lands true value and Quincy did not believe in Native property rights to begin with, or understand the native concept of land stewardship.
