When is the US Going to End its Occupation of korea, Japan, and Germany? 

By Deepak Sarkar

ccun.org, October 5, 2007

Whoever dreams about USA freeing Iraqi people must be day dreaming without knowledge that Japan (with 35,307, US army), Ger man y (69,395 US , army) and Korea (32,744 US , Army) are still occupied by US military after 50+ years! USA also maintains large number of military personnel in Italy (12,258) and United Kingdom (11,093)! It is obvious that presence of foreign military in someway affect the country’s sovereign decision making process always safeguarding and enlightening the chosen few while maintaining the status quo! 

Currently there are 702+ US military bases stationed in 132+ different countries across the globe to maintain US/NATO strategic interests, rather military and economic Supremacy! In other words, since World War II, US/NATO have been ensuring that indigenous nations can never rise to show the alternative living methodologies they once evolved with and exercised for a peaceful coexisting world, before the slave prescription of ‘Ten Commandments’ overpowered them! Mysterious 9/11 gave US military an excuse to deploy 900,000 more secret military personnel around the world dedicated in executing secret missions with funds channelized using Belgium based SWIFT money tracking system as secret CIA/FBI money laundering! Thus it seems obvious that late Hitler’s dream of conquering the world became US/NATO reality since WW II!     

What’s wrong with Domination? It blocks indigenous natural growth enforcing endless slavery encouraging internal conflicts! To illustrate it further, let us consider India which was under British occupation for more or less 200 years! Dominating British left India with 16% literacy, a fragile-volatile cash crop based economy, Ireland like deadly famine, while Britons in India and Great Britain enjoyed 98% literacy, secured and pampered life!  We all know how Israel has been treating Palestinians in the occupied land inflicting most brutal and humiliating experience ever extended to man kind by fellow hu man being!  

Since independence in 1947, Indians currently enjoy 66+ % literacy, a vibrant economy, a strong defensive military and sufficient food to feed 1.2 billion people, all within 58 years! Palestine was thriving within a year after signing the Oslo peace treaty before Israeli terrorists assassinated their own peace loving Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin re-establishing endless military aggressions, death and destructions!  

We can easily extrapolate the ill effects of foreign occupations and domination by few chosen reviewing present dominated lands including Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, Ireland, Haiti, South Korea, Panama, Hawaii, Falkland Island, Columbia, Guantanamo Bay, Diego Garcia, just to name a few!  

The world has seen how natives and aboriginals in Asia , North America , Australia , South America , New Zealand have been treated with hostility and abuse leading to almost annihilation, in some cases, by few chosen invaders (guests) who once enjoyed utmost hospitality in a foreign land!  

It was the foreign domination and exploitation of natural resources for rapid profit making motives in the newly found lands which enslaved millions from Africa causing the African Holocaust! Natives and aboriginals who once lived in small communities without endless digging and logging of our lonely living planet now forced to live in unhealthy intoxicated segregated reservations in man y parts of the world!          

In summary, domination deprives the world from the very art of creative evolutions much needed to maintain sustainable eco-friendly development guaranteeing peaceful, sharing and caring coexistence! Thus it is time World and UN remind USA/NATO forces to respect freedom around the world ending all military occupations!
