This article from Rick Perlstein, author of Before the Storm, appeared in The Village Voice and is well worth reading. Perlstein is an excellent writer and thinker, and cuts to the heart of the hypocrisy of right-wing propaganda and its important role in the vast social rollback that America is experiencing better than most. Hold on tight, UCIMC readers, it's going to be a very long four years. |

Correctly recognizing the roots of terrorism, President Bush noted that “as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat.” For much of the second half of his first term, he has emphasized that as a necessary means of curbing the threat of terrorism the United States much push for reform and democratization of the autocratic governments of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, and the Palestine Authority.
It is important to note, however, that none of the 9/11 hijackers came from those countries. Instead, they came from U.S.-backed dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, which continue to receive billions of dollars worth of U.S. military equipment annually. |
