"Terrorism" is a tactic:
Our enemies are myriad, but ignorance
and subversion are more lethal than terror."
The enemy is not terrorism. Our enemies are myriad. Some are in Saudi Arabia,
some are in Washington. The simplistic partisan rhetoric about "terrorism" is simple
propaganda. This fear-mongering has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds
of billions of dollars.... It is time to wake up.
We must stop corporate machinations in Iraq and repair the damage inflicted on this
nation by more than six years of mismanagement, hubris, corruption, arrogance,
and unmititgated greed. These crimes are tantamount to treason. ~~~TMF (associate editor)
An Enemy and War Born from Ignorance
The National Intelligence Estimate that was partially declassified
last week shows the government's own assessment of what has followed
from President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq -- a decision he
made in stark defiance of warnings of history.
``Anti-US and anti globalization sentiment is on the rise and fueling other radical ideologies," the estimate said. ``This could prompt some leftist, nationalist, or separatist groups to adopt terrorist methods to attack US interests. The radicalization process is occurring more quickly, more anonymously in the Internet age."
The estimate itself thus points to a conclusion:
Bush created a cohesive enemy where it did not really exist before.
So-called jihadists have been rallied, strengthened, and made lethal
by Iraq. They will haunt the world for years, in a global war unlike
anything ever seen before. All of it unnecessary. Foolishness worthy
of a stupid child. James
