Paper Summary:

Although most Americans have argued that the United States is a helper in world crisis, closer examination shows that the United States of America is a supporter of violence throughout the world. This paper contends that with the extensive support the U.S. gives to Israel, the support of supplied weapons to Suharto's seizure of power in Indonesia, the use of depleted uranium and white phosphorus as weapons, the lack of timely intervention in Rwanda, false justification for the occupation of Iraq, harsh foreign policies and the related fatalities, the United States of America remains a terrorist country.

From the Paper:

"The United States' international arms sales were measured at over 3 billion in 2003. Since September 11, 2001 the United States has lifted the sanctions imposed in 1998 on Pakistan and India in an effort to gain allies. Since then "Pakistan and India have benefited from billions of dollars in new military aid, training, and weaponry" (Barrigan, Hartung, Heffel. June 2005). Although the argument could be made that international arms sales is economically beneficial for the United States, selling weapons to countries considered to be undemocratic, with less than standard Human Rights records, contributes to terrorism."
