A Song: Harming People

Not that harming people of one's own country is a monopoly of 'enemy states'.
Politicians, dictators, and leaders around the world have probably done more harm to their own people than any cross-border terrorist could ever imagine.

Stalin, when he ruled Russia, oversaw the killing of millions.
Mao did the same in China.
As did the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

And while countries like India have been spared the vicious dictatorships of China and Russia - the role models of People's Power - one can argue that failed policies of the government have led to the death of millions of Indians, mostly in villages.

The point is that you don't have to be a 'foreigner' to kill your own people.
Indians murder Indians.

Chinese have murdered Chinese.

Russians have murdered Russians.

And the American government, in its own way, seems intent on decimating the wealth of its people. For the benefit of the few.
