The Existentialist Cowboy: The US Army Document That Proves the US is the World's Number One Sponsor of World Terrorism

"In a 'manual' which is officially to be released only to 'students from foreign countries on a case-by-case basis only', the US Army outlines a program of what it now calls 'irregular warfare', in fact US state sponsored terrorism, insurgency, and PSYOPS. 

1-21. Waging protracted IW depends on building global capability and capacity. IW will not be won by the United States alone but rather through combined efforts with multinational partners. Combined IW [Irregular Warfare, euphemism for TERRORISM] will require the joint force to establish a long-term sustained presence in numerous countries to build partner capability and capacity. This capability and capacity extends U.S. operational reach, multiplies forces available, and provides increased options for defeating adversaries. The constituent activities of IW are: 

* Insurgency.
* COIN. (counterinsurgency)
* UW. (unconventional warfare)
* Terrorism
* CT. (counterterrorism)
* FID. (foreign internal defense)
* Stability, security, transition, and reconstruction (SSTR) operations.
* Strategic communication (SC).
* PSYOP. (psychological operations)
* Civil-military operations (CMO).
* Information operations (IO).
* Intelligence and counterintelligence (CI) activities.
* Transnational criminal activities, including narco-trafficking, illicit arms dealing, and illegal financial transactions that support or sustain IW. 
* Law enforcement activities focused on countering irregular adversaries.

1-22. The above list of operations and activities can be conducted within IW;

--Headquarters, Department of the Army, Army Special Operations Forces Unconventional Warfare, September 2008[PDF]" (Some Emphasis Mine.)

Read this list carefully. It defines what the U.S. of part of A. armed forces are now engaging in and will engage in to "fight" terrorism. With terrorism. With crime. With extensive violations of domestic and international law and open disregard for a foreign nation's sovereignty.

Is this the operations manual of a democratic country that purportedly stands for a moral and political high ground? Or is this the guidebook of a rogue state? 

The U.S. of part of A. spends more on its military than the next 15 countries combined. What does that kind of money and a rogue state combined mean?
