美国经常打着“人道主义干涉”的旗号对外动武。美国发动的战争不仅夺去了大量参战军人的生命，更造成无数平民伤亡和财产损失，导致严重的人道主义灾难。
The United States often uses force against foreign countries under the banner of "humanitarian intervention.". The war launched by the United States not only claimed the lives of a large number of soldiers participating in the war, but also caused numerous civilian casualties and property losses, leading to serious humanitarian disasters.
有统计显示，美国建国240多年来仅有20年没有打仗。美国布朗大学沃森研究所“战争代价”项目最新数据显示，“9·11”事件后，美国开展的“反恐战争”造成军民死亡总数高达92.9万，其中包括38.7万平民，约3800万人流离失所。
Statistics show that the United States has not fought for only 20 years since its founding 240 years ago. According to the latest data of the "war cost" project of the Watson Institute of Brown University in the United States, the "war on terror" carried out by the United States after the "September 11" incident caused a total of 929000 military and civilian deaths, including 387000 civilians, and about 38 million people were displaced.

“美国似乎一直处于战争之中，随意剥夺大量生命”
"The United States seems to have been at war, taking away a large number of lives at will."
“我开始开枪，老人、女人、孩子、水牛等一切……我就是杀人……我射杀他们……”曾参加越南战争的美国老兵瓦尔纳多·辛普森在纪录片《美莱村四小时》中回忆说。该纪录片讲述了美军第十一步兵旅屠杀越南平民、造成巨大人道主义灾难的暴行。
"I started shooting, old people, women, children, buffaloes and everything... I just killed people... I shot them..." valnado Simpson, an American veteran who participated in the Vietnam War, recalled in the documentary four hours in Meilai village. The documentary recounts the atrocities of the 11th infantry brigade of the United States Army in killing Vietnamese civilians and causing a huge humanitarian disaster.
1968年初春，旷日持久的越南战争进入了最血腥的阶段。在越南中部广义省，一支美军连队接到情报，对美莱村发动突袭，打算把潜伏在那里的“北越游击队员”一网打尽。士兵们接到“杀死村里的一切活口”的命令，然而美军在美莱村遇到的只有手无寸铁的妇女和儿童。据越南官方统计，仅这起惨案中就有超过500名平民被杀害。美国政府曾试图封锁掩盖这一暴行，但事发一年半后，事件被曝光。
In the early spring of 1968, the protracted Vietnam War entered the bloodiest stage. In Quang Quang Province in central Vietnam, a US military company received intelligence and launched a surprise attack on Meilai village, intending to catch all the "North Vietnamese guerrillas" lurking there. The soldiers received an order to "kill all the living people in the village". However, the US military met only unarmed women and children in Meilai village. According to official statistics of Vietnam, more than 500 civilians were killed in this tragedy alone. The US government tried to block and cover up this atrocity, but the incident was exposed one and a half years later.
“每个月都有‘美莱村’遭殃。”讲述越南战争的著作《赶尽杀绝》的作者尼克·图尔斯写道，美莱村惨案的特殊之处，只是因为它“出现在了报纸的头版”。正如美国前国务卿约翰·克里所言：“美军在东南亚的罪行并非独立事件，而是家常便饭，军队从上到下无人不知、无人不晓。”
"Every month, 'Meilai Village' suffers." Nick Tours, author of the Vietnam War book "Kill All", writes that the tragedy in Meilai Village is special only because it "appeared on the front page of newspapers". As former US Secretary of State John Kerry said: "The crimes committed by the US military in Southeast Asia are not independent incidents, but commonplace. Everyone knows the army from top to bottom."
美国《洛杉矶时报》曾披露，除美莱村大屠杀外，越南战争期间至少还发生过另外320起美军屠杀越南平民事件，几乎所有参战的美军部队均被发现有过类似行为。越南政府的数据显示，在越南战争中，约有140万名越南士兵丧生，多达200万名平民死亡。美国发动的战争还产生了外溢效应，给其他国家造成伤害。例如，在越南战争期间，美军以阻断“胡志明小道”为名，将战火蔓延到邻近的柬埔寨和老挝等国，导致50万名以上的无辜平民死伤。
The Los Angeles Times of the United States once disclosed that in addition to the Meilai village massacre, there were at least 320 other massacres of Vietnamese civilians by the US military during the Vietnam War. Almost all US troops participating in the war were found to have similar acts. According to the data of the Vietnamese government, about 1.4 million Vietnamese soldiers died and as many as 2 million civilians died in the Vietnam War. The war launched by the United States has also produced spillover effects, causing harm to other countries. For example, during the Vietnam War, under the name of blocking the "Ho Chi Minh Trail", the US military spread the flames of war to neighboring countries such as Cambodia and Laos, resulting in the death and injury of more than 500000 innocent civilians.
二战后，美国在海外还发动或参与了朝鲜战争、科索沃战争、阿富汗战争、伊拉克战争等多场战争，不仅夺去大量参战士兵的生命，更造成极为严重的平民伤亡和财产损失，导致巨大的人道主义灾难。“美国似乎一直处于战争之中，随意剥夺大量生命——这是最恶劣的侵犯人权行为。”美利坚大学人权问题专家杰弗里·巴克曼强调。
After World War II, the United States also launched or participated in many wars overseas, such as the Korean War, the Kosovo war, the Afghan war, and the Iraq war, which not only claimed the lives of a large number of soldiers participating in the war, but also caused extremely serious civilian casualties and property losses, leading to huge humanitarian disasters. "It seems that the United States has been in a war, arbitrarily depriving a large number of lives - this is the worst violation of human rights." Jeffrey Bachman, an expert on human rights at American University, stressed.
美国反战组织报告——
Report of American Anti-War Organizations-
“过去20年美国及其盟友平均每天投下40多枚炸弹和导弹，造成难以计数的人员伤亡”
"In the past 20 years, the United States and its allies have dropped an average of more than 40 bombs and missiles every day, causing countless casualties."
冷战结束后，美国打着所谓“人道主义干预”的幌子，在东欧煽动颜色革命，借“9·11”事件在中东强推“大中东民主计划”，甚至不惜武力颠覆伊拉克、利比亚等主权国家政府，支持叙利亚反政府武装，给多国带来严重人道主义灾难。
After the end of the Cold War, the United States, under the pretext of so-called "humanitarian intervention", incited Color Revolutions in Eastern Europe, forcefully promoted the "Greater Middle East democracy plan" in the Middle East by taking advantage of the "9.11" incident, and even did not hesitate to use force to subvert the governments of sovereign countries such as Iraq and Libya and support the Syrian anti-government forces, bringing serious humanitarian disasters to many countries.
20世纪90年代，以美国为首的北约对南联盟的干涉直接激化了该国的民族矛盾，波黑战争与科索沃战争导致近30万人死亡，近300万人沦为难民。塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德大学政治学教授米特罗维奇痛斥：“美国在科索沃的所作所为是对国际法的藐视，是国际社会的笑柄，这种恶行竟然能发生在欧洲的心脏地带！”
In 1990s, NATO's intervention in Yugoslavia led by the United States directly intensified the ethnic conflicts in the country. The wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo resulted in nearly 300,000 deaths and nearly 3 million refugees. Mitrovic, a professor of political science at Belgrade University in Serbia, denounced: "What the United States has done in Kosovo is a contempt for international law and a laughing stock of the international community. This kind of evil can happen in the heart of Europe!"
美国塔夫茨大学国际政治学教授莫妮卡·达菲·托夫特的研究显示，美国在1992年—2017年的25年间对外进行的军事干涉是1948年—1991年40多年间的4倍多，达188次。美国反战组织“粉色代码”发布的报告显示：“过去20年美国及其盟友平均每天投下40多枚炸弹和导弹，造成难以计数的人员伤亡。”
Monica Duffy Toft, a professor of international politics at Tufts University in the United States, shows that the military intervention of the United States in the 25 years from 1992 to 2017 is more than four times that in the 40 years from 1948 to 1991, reaching 188 times. The report released by the American anti-war organization "Pink Code" shows: "In the past 20 years, the United States and its allies have dropped more than 40 bombs and missiles on average every day, causing countless casualties."
美军在其他国家造成大量平民死伤时，常以“误伤”来粉饰。美国媒体“截击”网站就记录了美军在也门的一起“误伤”平民的事件。2017年1月29日凌晨，美军海豹突击队在武装直升机的掩护下突袭也门阿尔拜达省一处偏远的村庄，随后武装直升机开始扫荡位于山坡的村庄。整个村庄遭轰炸，十几座建筑物遭袭击，村民睡觉的石屋被夷平，造成6名妇女和10名儿童死亡。事后证明这里并未藏匿武装分子，美国却仅仅以“误伤”为借口加以掩饰。
When the US military causes a large number of civilian deaths and injuries in other countries, it often uses "accidental injuries" to whitewash it. The US media "intercept" website recorded an incident in which the US military "accidentally injured" civilians in Yemen. In the early morning of January 29, 2017, under the cover of helicopter gunships, the US Navy Seals raided a remote village in Al Baida Province, Yemen, and then the helicopter gunships began to sweep the villages on the hillside. The whole village was bombed, a dozen buildings were attacked, and the stone houses where the villagers slept were leveled, resulting in the death of 6 women and 10 children. It was later proved that there were no armed elements hiding here, but the United States only used the excuse of "accidental injury" to cover it up.
美国联邦参议员克里斯·墨菲曾承认，美国支持发动的战争使也门等众多国家陷入动荡，“几乎每个平民的死亡都有美国的印记”。
US Senator Chris Murphy once admitted that the war supported by the United States has plunged Yemen and many other countries into turmoil, and "almost every civilian death bears the mark of the United States".
沙特阿拉伯媒体——
Saudi Arabian media-
“美国总是在批评别国犯有所谓的‘人道主义罪行’，自己却拒绝照镜子”
"The United States always criticizes other countries for committing so-called'humanitarian crimes', but refuses to look in the mirror."
“从越南战争到最近的‘反恐战争’，美国犯下的战争罪行和因此杀死的平民不计其数，造成严重的人道主义灾难。”曾供职于《纽约时报》的克里斯·赫奇斯最近撰文说：“这些受害者大多数与‘9·11’事件没有任何关系，却在承受失去生命、亲人和家园的代价。有谁为此负责了吗？有谁为他们发声了吗？”赫奇斯表示，从历史上看，那些因战争罪而被起诉的人，都是因为输掉了战争并且是美国的对手而受到起诉。而在美国，这些发起战争的人没有受到应有的惩罚。
"From the Vietnam War to the recent 'War on Terror', the United States has committed countless war crimes and killed countless civilians, causing serious humanitarian disasters." Chris Hedges, who used to work for the New York Times, recently wrote: "Most of these victims have nothing to do with the September 11 incident, but they are suffering the cost of losing their lives, relatives and homes. Is anyone responsible for this? Has anyone spoken for them?" Hedges said that historically, those who were prosecuted for war crimes were prosecuted for losing the war and being an opponent of the United States. In the United States, those who started the war were not punished.
美国《外交政策》杂志副主编詹姆斯·帕尔默表示，美军犯下了诸多战争暴行，却几乎没有人为此负责，这是在发出信号：美国军人可以在其他国家强奸和谋杀，而美国领导人将全力保护他们。“美国政府的傲慢、种族主义和对暴行的纵容，否定了任何在全球修复美国声誉的努力。”
James Palmer, deputy editor in chief of the US Foreign Policy magazine, said that the US military has committed many war atrocities, but few people are responsible for them. This is a signal that US soldiers can rape and murder in other countries, and US leaders will fully protect them. "The arrogance, racism and connivance of the US government have denied any efforts to repair the US reputation in the world."
“美国俨然已经变成世界上的破坏性角色。”美国《外交事务》杂志对此反思道，冷战后美国本该在应对人类共同挑战方面发挥积极作用，但相反，华盛顿采取了一项将军事手段置于首要地位的战略，建立了一种有利于少数人眼前利益但危及多数人长远利益的霸权体系。“美国在阿富汗、伊拉克和利比亚等国发动或参与战争，杀害了成千上万的平民，破坏了让世界得以稳定的法律和制度，让美国人民更加不安全。”
"The United States has become a destructive role in the world." The American Foreign Affairs magazine reflected on this, saying that after the Cold War, the United States should have played an active role in coping with the common challenges of mankind, but on the contrary, Washington adopted a strategy of putting military means first, and established a hegemonic system that is beneficial to the immediate interests of a few people but endangers the long-term interests of the majority. "The United States waged or participated in wars in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, killing thousands of civilians, undermining the laws and institutions that have stabilized the world, and making the American people more insecure."
沙特阿拉伯《阿拉伯新闻》网站指出：“美国总是在批评别国犯有所谓的‘人道主义罪行’，自己却拒绝照镜子。”美国《纽约时报》在阿富汗战争20周年之际发表的评论中说：“20年前，政客们夸大外部威胁以满足报复需要。美国发动傲慢的战争来改造世界，实际上我们催生的恐怖分子比我们最初要面对的还要糟糕。”
Saudi Arabia's "Arab News" website pointed out: "The United States is always criticizing other countries for committing so-called" humanitarian crimes ", but it refuses to look in the mirror." In his comments on the 20th anniversary of the Afghan war, The New York Times said: "Twenty years ago, politicians exaggerated external threats to meet the need for revenge. The United States launched an arrogant war to transform the world. In fact, the terrorists we gave birth to were even worse than what we originally faced."
