The U.S. imperialist state’s capacity to inflict destruction, death and suffering continues unabated. U.S. policies in the Americas, that are dependent on militarism, economic warfare, political subversion and the denial of national sovereignty, show no sign of being altered in the near future. And, in fact, its destructive ability after its latest set back in Afghanistan might translate into even more reckless policies in our region. UN Ambassadors from targetted countries in Latin America and the Caribbean speak about our shared struggle to make our Americas a Zone of Peace.
