Supported by Fact and Eyewitness Account

Experimental weapons, concentration camps, targeted civilian areas... to say that this is a stain on the history of U.S. foreign policy is to ignore the fact that virtually ALL U.S. foreign policies, subsequent to WW II, have left a trail of needless death and destruction. No claims by the Pentagon, concerning the invasion of Panama have been substantiated by fact. This documentary, on the other hand, eschews supposition and relies solely on eyewitness account and substantive evidence. For citizens of the USA who are not aware of the millions around the globe who have been murdered, maimed, or rendered homeless or otherwise victimized by the many military mis-adventures of the U.S., this video can be a sobering primer. I urge you to investigate further!!

actually it is contradicted by the statements of journalists and others on the ground during and in the immediate aftermath of the invasion.

Oh wow, contradicted by journalists? That makes it all better.

Apparently, it is very hard for Americans to believe their country can be an aggressor.

roycant07, what is your deal. First you comment on my comment about Americans hard to believe that they can be the aggressor, now here. I am just asking, but what is your nationality?

His comment said nothing about NOT blaming the americans, his comment wrapped it up in the end that further investigation is needed.

Roycant obviously believes propaganda films when he sees them. Tell me, Royt, do you believe everything a film director makes?

Roy, why s it that you fail to grasp that those in film and theater are the last people to trust? They are experts at manipulating to feel or believe something. Of all forms of propaganda visual imagery is the EASIEST to produce.

People are stupid. They can be lead to believe anything. Political leaders as well as partisans all along the political divide understand and exploit this. To think that political activists are more honest than politicians and government is the height of folly.

OK. All you guys! Stop. The OP simply suggested everyone investigate further. Not to believe his POV, but to get other opinions. Not just pick the ones you already lean toward.

Carpe Noctem!
