It's ironic. It's hypocritical. It's a fraud. The "war on terrorism" branded by America is a propaganda
cover for the worst terrorists in the world
What was the invasion and occupation of Iraq but an act of terrorism? Everyone now knows that the faux
war was born of a fraud. The deception had no legitimate purpose except to terrorize countries that (a)
produce oil , (b) harbour Al-Qaeda a or (c) threaten Israel.
Even the invasion of Afghanistan, considered a legitimate response to 9/11, could have been avoided. The
Taliban appropriately asked the US to provide evidence of Osama bin Laden's complicity in the 9/11 affair
before deporting him.
Instead, we attacked Afghanistan to the cheers of terrorizing avengers. "We'll show you what we do to those
who terrorize America!" was the mantra. The USA is still terrorizing Afghanistan, thereby increasing A IQaeda cell s.
The icing on the spread-fear cake has involved the USA terrorizing Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Not
only are the countries America bombs terrorized. Every other country that might disobey our commands is
threatened and made to fear for its existence.
Human life outside America and its stooges isn't worth a tinker's damn to terrorist America. Some 567,000
Iraqi children under the age of five died from American sanctions on Iraq. On 60 minutes in 1996, Secretary
of State Madeleine Albright said: "We think the price is worth it."
As of January 2010 and since the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, 1,366,350 Iraqi lives have been
lost to terrorist slaughterers. "Never mind ," you say? "The price is worth it. Beside, they're only Muslims
who want to multiply and take over the world."
Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and rendition programmes have been nothing but terrorizing to plant fear
it'). the hearts and minds of any Arab or Muslim with negative fee lings toward America.
Something about being a terrorist of "lesser breeds" tends to become a mindset that disregards national
identities. Even Americans can become the objects of American terrorists. American Arabs and Muslims
have been the objects of terrorism ever since 9/11.
According to Chris Hedges, "An Arab American, Syed Fahad Hashmi, made provocative statements,
including calling America "the biggest terrorist in the world". That led to his arrest and prosecution on
trumped up charges, in much the same way that Professor Sami al-Aryan lost his job and freedom for being
an outspoken critic of US and Israeli policy.
Hedges relates the terrorizing effect of these prosecution s even of American citizens . "The state," he says,
"can detain and prosecute people not for what they have done, or even for what they a re planning to do, but
for holding religious or political beliefs that the state deems seditious. The first of those targeted have been
observant Muslims, but they will not be the last.
Chris Floyd points to incidents in countless town s and villages across America's terror war fronts in Iraq,
Afghanistan , Somalia and Yemen where a multitude of grieving, angry Iraqis are further embittered against
the American occupation by America's terrorist killings.
"You want to stop the 'radicalization' of young Muslims? Chris asks. "It's simple : stop killing innocent
Muslims in wars of domination all over the world. Stop running 'covert ops' in every nation of the world (as Obama's 'special envoy' Richard Holbrooke admitted last week) - murders, kidnappings, corrupti0 n and
deception that make a howling mockery of the very 'civilized values' these wars and ops purport to defend."
If America wants to stop terrorism, it needs to stop terrorizing the world.
