9/11, 9/11, 9/11 ... KILL, KILL, KILL …

[kpete]

William Blum has written a provocative essay entitled, “So, Please Tell Me Again: What’s The War About?":

“When facts are inconvenient, when international law, human rights and history get in the way, when war crimes can't easily be justified or explained away, when logic doesn't help much, the current crop of American political leaders turns to what is now the old reliable: 9/11. We have to fight in Afghanistan because ... somehow ... it's tied into what happened on September 11, 2001.” He goes on to point out:

...........“Never mind that out of the tens of thousands of people the United States and its NATO front have killed in Afghanistan not one has been identified as having had anything to do with the events of September 11, 2001.”

........“Never mind that the "plot to kill Americans" in 2001 was devised in Germany and Spain and the United States more than in Afghanistan. Why hasn't Washington bombed those countries?” Blum takes on the “safe haven” rationale:

“Indeed, what actually is needed to plot to buy airline tickets and take flying lessons in the United States? A room with some chairs? What does "an even larger safe haven" mean? A larger room with more chairs? Perhaps a blackboard? Terrorists intent upon attacking the United States can meet almost anywhere, with Afghanistan probably being one of the worst places for them, given the American occupation.”

2. The first time they said "act of war" I knew all the response would be wrong.

We instantly elevated the spoiled rich boy Osama to a head of state. Instead of rounding the criminals up, we gave them stature and importance.

More Americans died in spoiled rich boy Bush's wars than spoiled rich boy Osama killed. Meanwhile, we decimated two nations which never attacked us. Neither officially nor unofficially. Neither Afghanistan nor Iraq provided people for that mission. They were from Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Our allies.

"Act of war." Once that was said...we had our cover to pretend we were victims instead of aggressors.

God save us from the spoiled rich boys.
