Top 10 reasons Bush is a Terrorist

1. Military spending in the United States is already 53% of the total federal budget, while education and other social services total only 9% of the budget. Bush has proposed an extra $48 billion for his "War on Terrorism."

2. The United States possesses more nuclear weapons than the rest of the world combined. The Bush Administration refuses to comply with international treaties or allow its weapons programs to be inspected by international experts.

3. Bush's USA Patriot Act, passed supposedly to address terrorism in the U.S., has actually limited our civil liberties. It also establishes military tribunals where defendants don't have the right to know the charges or the evidence used against them.

4. The Bush Terror War means increased attacks on immigrant rights. This includes legal threats such as deportations and imprisonment without charges for long periods (thousands have been arrested and held for months) of time as well as rights to education, housing and jobs.

5. The Bush Administration has encouraged a racist environment that has increased the number of attacks. Without proof, the government has closed down Somali businesses and have started to question other Arab and Muslim owned businesses. The FBI has also harassed Somalis and Iraqis around the country.

6. In Palestine, the U.S. aid to and support for Israel has resulted in the death of over 1,320 Palestinians and another 18,701 injured as well as the destruction or extensive damage of over 7000 homes and 4000 buildings since September 2000. Between 1947 and 1948, Palestinians lost 75% of their land since 1948 while Israel has received $91 billion from the U.S. (as of 2000) and is currently the largest recipient of US aid since World War II.

7. In Afghanistan, the U.S. war killed over 3,500 civilians in the first two months and 1.2 million Afghanis have been displaced because of the war. The bombing campaign has destroyed the countryside and scattered it with unexploded bombs and bomblets, some of which are radioactive because of their depleted uranium coating. The U.S. military continues to carry out missions there and has continued to occupy the country.

8. In Colombia, the U.S. government has given the Colombian military equipment, money, and training and has supported the Colombian government despite its terrible human rights records, including connections to paramilitary forces that kill labor, peasant, and leftist political leaders and anybody else who voices their opposition to the government. This on-going support has destroyed the peace process and ended the cease-fire.

9. In Iraq, the bombing and sanctions (mostly by U.S. actions or support) continue. The sanctions have killed millions of people already and continue to create hardships and death for the Iraqi people. Clean water, food & medicine availability, public health, and environmental clean-up from the bombing are all compromised by the sanctions.

10. The U.S. government continues to expand its efforts to influence and control the world. President Bush has threatened North Korea, Iran and Iraq with war, calling them the "axis of evil". The U.S. government has also sent troops to the Philippines, where U.S. bases were closed about 10 years ago. U.S. military advisors are now in the Republic of Georgia and Yemen. The U.S has renewed threats of intervention against the government in Somalia, and has admitting to spying.
