2) The Wars and Military Interventions of the United States
A) The United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War
The Vietnam War began on November 1, 1955, and on April 30, 1975, the Viet Cong and North Vietnam forces captured Saigon, ending the Vietnam War. On August 2 and 4, 1964, when two American ships were bombed by South Vietnam in international waters (known as the Gulf Tonkin), the United States Congress responded by passing the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The Mỹ Lay Massacre took place on March 16, 1968, during the Vietnam War. The massacre occurred in the village of Mỹ Lay, Vietnam in which 347 to 504 civilians were killed and most of them were civilians, women and children. Some of the victims had been raped and tortured and some had been dismembered by soldiers. The war left about 4 million dead, 58,000 of whom were American soldiers. Also, the war left the United States with 300,000 wounded and disabled.
B) The Tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were two nuclear operations carried out against the Japanese Empire during World War II by the order of President Harry Truman. In the first operation, on August 6, 1945, the plane dropped the bomb–known as “Little Boy” – by parachute at 8:15 in the morning, and to increase the scale of the devastations it exploded 576 metres above Hiroshima in a blast equal to 15 tons of TNT, destroying five square miles of the city and raising the temperature to several million degrees.
The second bombardment: A bomb called a “Fat Man” was released from a B29 plane on August 9, 1945, at 11:02 a.m. local time in Japan. The bomb was exploded at an altitude of 500 metres above the ground, destroying the entire city of Nagasaki. By 1950, 200,000 people had been killed in Hiroshima and 300,000 across Hiroshima and Nagasaki; a total of 7,3844 people had been killed and 7,4909 injured in the bombings, while thousands more had contracted nuclear radiation. The bombing was commanded by Major Sweeney. He was in charge.
C) The United States’ Military Attack on Afghanistan
The war in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001, by The United States forces under the official name (Operation Enduring Freedom) in the wake of the al-Qaeda attacks led by Osama bin Laden on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, and the rejection of the United States President George W. Bush’s demand that the Taliban should expel al-Qaeda terrorist group from Afghanistan. Also, the United Kingdom has started conducting independent military operations in 2002.
The main goal of this war was fighting with and eliminating al-Qaeda, the Taliban and their supporters. About one month later, the Taliban regime fell and after the Bonn Conference Hamid Karzai came to power and was elected as the President of Afghanistan. On October 7, 2001, airstrikes began in Kabul, Jalalabad, and Qandahar International Airport which was the main stronghold of Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
At the end of 2009, the number of civilians killed in the war was estimated at more than 9,500. The United Nations put the death toll at 2,400, including 1,400 killed by the Taliban and 465 by international troops. In the same year, the Afghan government put the death toll at 2,100 and the number of injured at 3,700. The exact number of people who were killed since the war began in 2001 is unknown, but more than 4,000 people have been killed in the first three months of the war alone, according to a study conducted by Professor Mark Herold published in The Guardian. In 2009 alone, 1,504 people were killed by improvised explosive devices and roadside mines.
D) The United States’ Military Invasion of Iraq
On March 21, 2003, the United States in the shadow of slogans such as fighting against terrorism, establishing global peace, and bringing democracy and freedom, invaded and occupied Iraq illegally claiming that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction. This brutal invasion, known as the Second Gulf War, had unimaginable consequences for the occupiers and the Iraqi people, to the point that it is considered one of the biggest historical mistakes of the United States government. To occupy Iraq, the United States had to take some preliminary steps. To that end, after Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, the United States made these arrangements within 13 years (1990 to 2003) by weakening Iraqi’s government and launching a propaganda campaign against this country in the international arena so that by occupying Iraq, it could achieve its goals with the least cost and resistance.
Following the military attacks carried out by the United States and its allies against Iraq, the Ba’athist government of Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein Tikriti, was overthrown and soon a new wave of violence and ethnic and religious conflicts erupted in this country. After extensive and swift victories of the coalition forces and overthrowing the Ba’athist regime, the power was entrusted partly to the Iraqi interim government to manage the affairs of the country. The main occupying forces included the army of the United States, and the United Kingdom and Poland, but 29 other countries, including Japan, South Korea, Spain, Italy, etc., also sent part of their military and logistical forces to support the coalition forces in occupying Iraq. Furthermore, by sending tens of thousands of their soldiers who were citizens of different countries, some private military companies took the responsibility of providing security for the large parts of Iraq’s infrastructure, especially oil wells and petrochemical centres.
Between 2003 and 2011, at least 116,000 Iraqi civilians were killed and a far greater number have been injured or diagnosed with brain injuries or mental problems, according to a new study published in the journal Lancet. Also, about five million people have been displaced.
These figures Mỹ be applied to the eight years in this way: 580 people were killed in 2003; 906 people were killed in 2004; 897 people were killed in 2005; 872 people were killed in 2006; 963 people were killed in 2007; 322 people were killed in 2008; 150 people were killed in 2009; 60 people were killed in 2010; and until October 28, 2011, 52 people have been killed.
University studies in the United States have found that the Iraq war has cost the main invading country about $3 trillion. That’s far more than the Americans had predicted (about 40 times). According to the study conducted by the researchers at Brown University in the United States, the cost of deploying American troops in Iraq and equipping them for war has reached $1,700 billion.
Speaking at Congress on October 28, 2006, Massachusetts MP James McGuffren said that the United States is spending more than $246 million a day for the war of Iraq, which would cost the United States $2,847 a second. At the same time, research was conducted by Linda Bilmes and Joseph Stiglitz (the winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics), both from Harvard and Columbia Universities. They estimated the cost of the war at $2,267 billion.
The costs of the war in Iraq are mentioned in a book entitled “The Three Trillion Dollar War” of which the French newspaper Le Figaro published a summary on 10/4/2008. According to this book, the price of the Iraq war outpaced the Vietnam War and is more than twice the cost of the Korean War.
E) Using the Weapons of Mass Destruction
The United States uses bombs, usually outside of declared war zones, to target the civilians and cause destructions and destroy non-military areas:
Japan (1983)/China(1945–46)/Korea and China (1950–53)/Guatemala (1960, 1954, 1967–1969)/Indonesia (1958)/Cuba (1959–61)/Congo (1964)/Peru (1983)/Laos (1964–1970)/Vietnam (1961–1973)/Cambodia (1969–70)/Grenada (1983)/Lebanon (1983–84)/Libya (1983)/El Salvador (1980s)/Nicaragua (1980s) Iran (1987)/Panama (1989)/Iraq (1991–2000)/Kuwait (1991)/Somalia (1993)/Bosnia (1994–95)/Sudan (1998)/Afghanistan (1998)/Pakistan (1998)/
Yugoslavia (1999)/Bulgaria (1999)/Macedonia (1999).
F) Using Chemical and Biological Weapons by the United States
The United States has refused to sign conventions against the spread and use of chemical and biological weapons and has used or tested them in the following countries (without warning or informing the civilian population in advance). The Bahamas (late 1940s and mid-1950s)/Canada (1953)/China and Korea (1950 – 53)/Korea (1967–69)/Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia (1961–70)/Panama (1940s-1990s)/Cuba (1926, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1981, 1996).
Also, the United States has tested these weapons on the United States civilians without their knowledge and consent: Waterton, New York, and the Virgin Islands (1950)/the San Francisco Bay Area (1957, 1950 – 67)/Minneapolis (1953)/St. Louis (1953)/Washington, DC, (1953, 1967)/Florida (1955)/Savannah in the state of Georgia/Avon Park in Florida (1956 – 58)/New York (1956,1966)/Chicago (1960) Minneapolis.
The United States has encouraged many countries, including the following, to use these weapons and provided them with the necessary technology to expand such weapons: Egypt, South Africa and Iraq.
3) The estimation of the number of casualties of the United States military intervention and the support for dictators in other countries (according to the most conservative estimations)
Nicaragua: 30,000 people/Brazil: 100,000 people/Korea: 4 million people/Guatemala: 200,000 people/Honduras: 20,000 people/El Salvador: 63,000 people/Argentina: 40,000 people/Bolivia: 10,000 people/Uruguay: 10,000 people/Ecuador: 10,000 people/Peru: 10000 people/Iraq: 1.3 million people/Iran: 30,000 people/Sudan: 8,000 to 10,000 people/Colombia: 50,000 people/Panama: 5,000 people/Japan: 140,000 people/Afghanistan: 10,000 people/Somalia: 5,000 people/the Philippines: 150,000 people/Haiti: 100,000 people/the Dominican Republic: 10,000 people/Libya: 500 people/Macedonia: 1,000 people/South Africa: 10,000 people/Libya: 500 people/Macedonia: 1000 people/South Africa: 10000 people/Pakistani: 10,000 people/Palestine: 40,000 people/Indonesia: 1 million people/East Timor: one third up to one half of the total population/Greece: 10,000 people/Laos: 600,000 people/Cambodia: 1 million people/Angola: 300,000 people/Grenada: 500 people/Congo: 2 million people/Egypt: 10,000 people/Vietnam: 1.5 million people/Chile: 50,000 people.
A) Drones
The death toll from the United States drone strikes has risen to such an extent that the lack of clear rules regarding this new weapon has allowed Washington to exploit this legal vacuum. The United States Air Force has about 7,500 operational UAVs, meaning that more than a third of the United States Air Force works and operates without pilots. These drones are used for gathering information, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, as well as for military strikes. In 522 drone strikes, 3,852 people were killed, of which 476 were civilians; in this regard, the number of child victims is staggering.
