The True Face of America

Salaam. This message was posted by akhi Mohd Shoeib. It tells us how tyrant America is; the country which praises herself as the nation that calms even the most violent terrorist. *Talking about irony.. *Anyhow, I could not verify  whether the statistics that he posted proved to be aunthentic. I was just curious and at the same time; disgusted. They have multi-faceted concepts of which, I think, a synonym of hypocrisy. Digest these numbers well.  

Number of People killed by Government of USA. 

For the sake of keeping this out of the realm of the ridiculous, I'm excluding everyone that died as part of legitimate peacekeeping missions and actual Americans. This is like a really rough look at how many NON-AMERICANS we have killed (i.e. not on our side at the time) since the 30s via military and economic intervention, rounded generally down to the nearest thousand (things with <1000 deaths like Grenada bombings not included) or so on conservative or moderate estimates since the dropping of the bombs in Japan. Hold on, this is going to get ugly.
