| State Terrorism Threatens Survival of Human Species I found this interesting Wikipedia entry on state terrorism. It cites some example of state terrorist acts committed by the United States, the UK, the Soviet Union, Russia, Iran, Iraq and Israel. It is state terrorism that creates the Bin Ladens, Basyevs and sucide bombers of the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_terrorism | |||||||||||||||||||||

| And it only lists a small amount of state terrorism under much of those countries including the United States. But you are right in that state terrorism creates the Bin Ladens. But that's exactly what this administration needs to get through their heads. Instead their simplistic agenda calls for retaliation and more state terrorism in 'response' to the Bin Ladens. I think it even got to an extent to where Bush's excuse for staying in Iraq was to 'avenge the US lives lost during the Iraq war.' Even our own government silently admits in documents that global terrorism grew significantly as a result of Bush's 'war on terror.' Bush has done more for global al-Qaeda recruiting than any other person in history. An eye for an eye indeed does make the whole world blind. This is why you see peace protests, because its the only thing that will save us from the inevitable.

| The article cites as example of state terrorism of the USA as: 1. Supporting Israel. 2. Supporting the Contras 3. Dropping the atomic bomb That's it. Not an impressive list, certainly nothing which ought to tolerate as valid inspiration for others to fly planes into office towers and blow up embassies. | |||||||||||||||||||||

How in the world can you say dropping an atomic bomb on humans not impressive?? That is fucking ridiculous. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

| Well like I've said before, it only lists a small fraction of what a lot of those countries have done. Esspecially under the United States. It completely ignores a lot of the state sponsering of certain terrorist organizations and individuals, a lot of state sponsering of genocidal dictatorships overseas, and esspecially in Central/South America.

| And your argument on how we are taking care of terrorism, better than we were, is what? Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville | |||||||||||||||||||||
