"US Foreign Policy is the Greatest Crime Since WWII," warned Ramsey"

In 1991, Ramsey Clark wrote, "US Foreign Policy is the greatest crime against humanity since the Second World War," in his book, 'The Fire This Time - US War Crimes in the Gulf,'[2] in which, Attorney Clark sited specific crimes in dozens of nations bombed and invaded by Americans since WW II.


"American aggression has created incalculable levels of misery for the world"

In 2004, back in Iraq for the crimes of a second President Bush, Clark seems to have spoken again to public ignorance and apathy, as he declared, that

"American aggression had already created incalculable levels of "misery for the world"; that "the poor of the planet made poorer, dominated and exploited by the foreign policies of the U.S. and its rich allies;" that "the U.S. invasion of Iraq was a war of aggression, an offense called 'the supreme international crime' in the Nuremberg Judgment."

"The world is the most dangerous place it's ever been now because of what our country has done, and is doing"

In January of 2005, Ramsey addressed a protest at the 2nd inauguration of Bush Jr., [3]

The Congress understands something when the people demand it. And the power is in the people. Always has been. The question is whether the people have the will to exercise it. I think that the imperative challenge of the American people now is to live up to the Constitution and demand the impeachment of George W. Bush and the other officials of the government responsible for these crimes. " There has to be accountability for what's happened.

The world is the most dangerous place it's ever been now because of what our country has done, and is doing

"U.S. invasion of Iraq 'the supreme international crime' in the Nuremberg Judgment." warned Ramsey There has to be accountability for what's happened

In June of 2015, former Attorney General Ramsey and an internationally prominent group of lawyers joined an Iraqi mom's law suit against against Bush, Cheney, and other members of his administration for illegal war in Iraq in violation of international guidelines as defined by the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II. [4]

Ramsey Clark once remarked to this writer in reference to the positiveness of that lawsuit for reparations and indemnity as opposed to purely anti-war activities,

"Can't just be against something. Got to be FOR something!"

And he immediately followed up that cautionary with another more specific,

"Without Demands For Compensation For Wrongful Deaths and Destruction, Anti-Imperialist-Wars Journalism Is Hypocritical"
