Americans are wonderful people but, unfortunately, they have a problem similar to our own. They have carelessly allowed politicians to assume the right to do anything, however unlawful or immoral, as far as foreign policy is concerned. Democracy has effectively disappeared from this area of government, even though it has enormous consequences for ordinary people. The US State Department is a dangerous monster out of control.

It is time for ordinary citizens to demand basic human decency in the conduct of foreign policy. It is time that Britain developed a critical attitude to the foreign policy of America and began to disengage itself from it.

American actions around the world show that it has embarked on a programme of imperial expansion characterised by a rapacious greed, extreme economic and physical violence, an attempt to ensure that American banking and big business “take over the world” - including space, the exploitation and abuse of people, hostility to the well-being of people, subversion, corruption, the support of major crime organisations, the deliberate creation of enemies, espionage, the encouragement of terrorist movements, the use of information warfare, economic warfare, a paranoid dependence on unbelievable quantities of weapons, a vast export business in the means to kill tens of thousands of people, subversion of the United Nations, rule by an elite which bypasses democracy, and a criminal indifference to international law and basic human morality and decency. America is the greatest threat to world peace that the world has ever known. (40)

So far, the United States has got away with its disgraceful policies. This cannot continue because the people of the world will simply retaliate by rejecting American products and businesses. They will refuse to buy Coca-Cola, eat at McDonald’s, buy Esso petrol, watch Hollywood’s films celebrating the most violent society on earth. Sadly, Americans will be welcome visitors in fewer and fewer countries.

Anti-Americanism is strongly apparent in much of the world already, for example, in Russia, China, South America, Iraq, Iran, and Greece. Americans seem determined to antagonise the whole world.

Of course, we would love to cooperate with the US on any project that had the betterment of mankind as its objective.
