J Hurling baseless allegations
against the countries or regimes or
individual leaders, using the
allegations as pretexts and justifi-
cation to attack and punish in the
way they like is a pattern for the
imperialists in general and US in
particular.
The US launched the armed
invasion against Iraq on the false
allegation that Saddam Hussein,
the President of Iraq, was in
possession of weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD). The invaders
overthrew Saddam Hussein Govt.,
killed him after enacting a farce of
trail. Iraq was placed under an
illegal and illegitimate puppet
regime and lakhs of Iraqi people
who refused to bow down to US
brute force was butchered. The
investigations had conclusively
proved that the US allegation was
totally a lie manufactured by the
imperialists. Yet, no apology came
from US; No withdrawal of invading
troops had taken place. It was
clearly exposed that its allegation
was only a plea to justify its military
action to take control of Iraq’s rich
oil resources.
The US alleged that Syria was
in possession of WMD. This was
again a fabricated lie. US and its
allies had resorted to armed
attacks and used the terrorist
groups to destabilize the govt. The
Syrian govt.’s staunch opposition
to US policy in the Middle East and
Palestine and Syria’s close alliance
with Russia are the main causes
of US ire against the Syrian regime.
The US and its allies alleged
that Iran was producing nuclear
weapons. The US persisted in this
allegation even after it was
conclusively disproved by the
facts. It is continuing rigorous
economic sanctions against Iran.
Why? Because, the Iran defies US,
supports Palestinian and Syrian
peoples’ struggles and pursues a
policy of its own in the West Asia.

In Asia, the US alleges that
North Korea’s defense system
poses a threat to the security of
South Korea and peace in the
Korean peninsula. It is dead set on
disarming North Korea with a view
to compel it to accept US domi-
nation in Asia and Asia-Pacific
region.
In the post-Second World War
period, the US imperialists had
waged countless small and big
wars of invasions. They resorted
to blatant acts of threat, bullying
and intervention against the small
and weak countries in the world.
They protected the most
oppressive and hated regimes,
reactionary forces and organi-
zations. They groomed the terrorist
groups and freely used them to
topple or destabilize the regimes.
They engineered assassination of
leaders and are responsible for the
massacre of millions of people.
They used one plea or other to
defend their actions. They did not
care the disapproval of their
allegations as totally baseless. The
instances we mentioned here are
only a small fraction of the crimes
they had committed against the
humanity.
There is not a single instance
where the US imperialists had
admitted their crimes against the
humanity. Why a ‘good sense’ has
dawned on them to come out with
a “posthumous apology” for the
killing of Osama bin Laden?
The entire world knows that, at
one time, Osama bin Laden was a
darling of US imperialism. He and
the Al-Qaeda, he headed, grew
right under the wings and in the
course of serving US imperialism
in the period of Russian occupation
of Afghanistan. The imperialists
would never hesitate to discard any
one whom they had used as a tool
once they think that the purpose
of the said tool is over. They shoot
out a ghost they themselves had
erected also as a tactical move to
divert the people’s attention from
the real culprits (none, but them-
selves). The US imperialists shot
down Osama bin Laden, but, at the
same time, this ghost came to be
revered more by a section of
people in the world not only as an
Islamic preacher, but also as a
hero and martyr who died defying
and fighting the US imperialism.
The US is still playing the card of
terrorism. Perhaps, it believes that
its posthumous apology for killing
Osama bin Laden will pacify his
admirers and help to continue its
crimes against humanity.
However, politically, the world
people are more mature and more
conscious today. From Vietnam
War to this day, they have seen how
the imperialists are to be dealt. The
struggle against imperialism and
the imperialist policies of plunder,
oppression and domination is
unrelenting and assumes different
forms like armed resistance,
protest movements, political and
economic battles and, campaigns
and assertions of economic self
reliance. It encompasses every
field. The experience of life teaches
the people that imperialism is most
cruel system of exploitation and
oppression on earth. At the same
time, it represents a decaying and
moribund capitalism. The US
imperialism which claims to head it
and which aspires to dominate the
world is in contradiction and clash
with people everywhere in the
world. It is growing every day. It is
the united and organized battle of
people that alone can drive
imperialism totally and finally to its
grave. It is the people who write in
their own blood the final verdict
against all the crimes of
imperialism and herald a new
exploitation-free, oppression-free,
war-free socialist society in the
world
