America The Aggressor

This morning while I was channel surfing  something caught my attention., a black and white film of various massacre scenes while a Louie Armstrong song; "What a Wonderful World" plays in the background ....turns out it was the beginning of  one of Michael Moores documentary.  I got online to dig a little deeper and  what I found was truly disturbing. America's involvement in Mass Murder. I call these 'Crimes Against Humanity'......but of course, you can decide for yourself.

"What a Wonderful World" montage

The film then cuts to a montage of rather treacherous American foreign policy decisions, with the intent to contradict McCollum's statement by citing examples of how the United States has frequently been the aggressor nation. This montage is set to the song "What a Wonderful World" performed by Louis Armstrong.
