Bombing list

Lorsqu’ils ont bombardé la Chine, le Guatemala, l’Indonésie, Cuba et le Congo, je n’ai rien dit, je n’étais pas au courant.

Lorsqu’ils ont bombardé le Liban et la Grenade, je n’ai rien dit, je n’y comprenais rien.

Lorsqu’ils ont bombardé le Panama, je n’ai rien dit, je n’étais pas un trafiquant de drogue.

Lorsqu’ils ont bombardé l’Irak, l’Afghanistan, le Pakistan, la Somalie et le Yémen, je n’ai rien dit, je n’étais pas un terroriste.

Lorsqu’ils ont bombardé la Yougoslavie et la Libye pour des raisons « humanitaires » je n’ai rien dit, cela avait l’air d’être une bonne raison.

Quand ils sont venus me bombarder, il n’y avait plus personne pour me défendre. Aucune importance, puisque j’étais mort. (1)

Bonus

Iran, April 2003 -- hit by US missiles during bombing of Iraq, killing at least one person {2}

Pakistan, 2002-03 -- bombed by US planes several times as part of combat against the Taliban and other opponents of the US occupation of Afghanistan {3}

China, 1999 -- its heavily bombed embassy in Belgrade is legally Chinese territory, and it appears rather certain that the bombing was no accident (see chapter 25)

France, 1986 -- After the French government refused the use of its air space to US warplanes headed for a bombing raid on Libya, the planes were forced to take another, longer route; when they reached Libya they bombed so close to the French embassy that the building was damaged and all communication links knocked out.{4}

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 13, 1985 -- A bomb dropped by a police helicopter burned down an entire block, some 60 homes destroyed, 11 dead, including several small children. The police, the mayor's office, and the FBI were all involved in this effort to evict a black organization called MOVE from the house they lived in.
