The following is my response to: M. Shahid Alam who is a professor of economics at Northeastern University. He is author of Challenging the New Orientalism (IPI Publications: 2007). Visit his website at http://aslama.org He may be reached at alqalam02760@yahoo.com. Alam bookmarks his articles through "propeller" and has been kind in voting for my various musings. http://www.propeller.com/viewstory/2007/02/13/global-war-on-terrorism-to-mobilize-americans/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iviews.com%2FArticles%2Farticles.asp%3Fref%3DIV0702-3230&frame=true
I know this is an article from a while back (February of 2007), but may I comment:
My first though is to say again that George walker Bush is a reactionary; that is to say in response to stress he reacts. In some cases his reaction may be inappropriate, his motivation questionable.
The perpetrators of 9/11 died in the air crashes. Terrorists at that level don't send subordinates to fly 747's, they do it themselves. So how shall we seek our revenge?
As to American global-dominance, we are in fact the fascists: "militarized expansionism". And this expansionism is completely out of sinc with our stated moral principles.
Also consider, the U.S. bombs and strafes with planes and artillery, then American corporations (Halliburton and her associated industries comes to mind) to clean up.
Incidentally, Halliburton has attempted to build detention centers, Halliburton gets $2. 00 for every meal an American service-person in Iraq eats (for which Halliburton does NOTHING), and (see my Associated Content articles) Halliburton was to ultimately profit when Bush tried to transfer control of the American Ports to Dubai, at UAE.
What about religion? Should we be concerned about radical Muslims? In Africa, teen-aged radical Muslims have taken over towns, telling the people, "Pray five times daily, or we will be-head you). I personally oppose all organized religion, but that is an unpopular view.
