20. It's cold war hangover
Edited on Fri Nov-21-03 11:44 AM by BlackFrancis
People have been trained to think in terms of nation-states as bad or good depending on how respectful they are to the US and how open they are to US industry. It doesn't matter that they aren't connected in any way to what is termed "War on Terrorism". When all you know is carving the world into "allies" and "enemies" based on specious, selective, self-serving criteria you don't know how to fight terrorism.

It's a very dangerous delusion that I'm afraid may take decades to disabuse people of.
