Dear Back:
I agree with your posting !00%. And, while there is certainly neither justification nor excuse for the 9/11 attacks, there are *reasons* behind them. In other words, the hatred that motivated those attacks did not magically produce itself in some vacuum. That hatred must be considered within the context of America's fascist, imperialist geo-political malfeasance. To put it bluntly, American foreign policy sucks. It is inane, cruel and cowardly. It is based on evil precepts. We are currently being led by a president who is allowing himself to be blinded by messianic delusions (It reminds me of that old song from the sixties that goes: "And you tell me over and over again, my friend, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.") Personally speaking, Bush's policy toward Iraq nauseates me and makes me ashamed of being an American. The U.S. is on the verge of attacking another sovereign nation with its reason being that Iraq has the very same weapons that the U.S. itself possesses. And if Bush does initiate an attack without a U.N. mandate (which is something that he will do, without a doubt) then he will be in direct violation of international law. Absolutely disgusting.
