You asked for it! Long live Laden

Terrorism maybe the only way to fight back



Where would our defense forces keep live ammunition?

Where fireworks could detonate it?

In the city center?

If such a arrangement was made, a class action would follow.

If at one of our many demonstrations in the west someone fired a gun in the crowd, would our Security force’s fire indiscriminately back killing unarmed peaceful demonstrators?

If they did, how would we respond?

When broadcast of anti war demonstrations were shown it was not necessary to edit cut and loop video so that the manufactured extended vision appeared to represent greater crowds. The number and scale of world disapproval was obvious.

Why was it necessary to edit cut and loop repeated file footage of Iraqi’s cheering in small groups so that they’re positive demonstrations appeared to be a nation wide jubilant welcoming of American troops.
Why was it necessary to keep the camera’s focused on the center of each crowd when a much better angle in filming crowds would have been to pan back allowing the viewer to appreciate the number of cheering Iraqi’s.

If Rupert Murdock sights the positive reason for any country to support the US Invasion and ongoing occupation as equal to a 20% tax rebate for those involved (once the oil is flowing and the industry privatized). Why is it that Oil is always refuted as part of the reason the west went to war in the first place?

Now that it is obvious that there are no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam is no longer able to keep order in Iraq, why would it be necessary for the UN to impose the US requested sanctions first ordered in 1991?

Why are we being told that the UN is under pressure from America to lift sanctions?

Was part of the US battle plan to starve and blockade the people of Iraq for 12 years before invading so that they could not put up adequate defense?

Osssam bin Laden has connections with Saddam Hussein or so we are told, both however defiantly have or had links with the CIA.

Saddam was put into power by the CIA, Laden’s troops in the Afghans/Russian war were equipped and trained by the CIA.
Laden offered the west the opportunity to assist regional peace efforts when back in 1990 he offered to lead a by-partisan Arabic/Muslim army in defense of Kuwait.
Had Ossama been allowed to contain the ambitions of Hussein a very localized battle on the soil of Kuwait would have been the extent of the Gulf War and the War on Muslim Terrorist would not have been created.
Win or lose the freedom of the people of Kuwait was never in doubt as that country plus Saudi Arabia has American protection for its despotic leaders in return for the free flow of oil.

Why was it that the price of oil remained stable during the war when all opinion advised immediate rises?, no great finds were reported during that time and no reason for increased production.

It would be different had LADEN been recognized as a military leader, he fought bravely against the Russians and won, he is fiercely Arabic unable to accept foreign rule in Arab lands but clearly able to fight against it.
If we recognize Laden as a Commander and Chief of a millitary defence force then the Collateral damage of the Americans in the towers becomes easier to accept.

The target on Sept 11 were not civilians, it was the Towers themselves and their intrinsic role in both the hearts, minds and back pockets of western capitalists it was the target. We are still feeling the economic consequence of that greatest military strike ever.

Why was it considered Terrorism? It was designed to hurt the economy of the USA, was the destruction of the Pentagon a terrorist attack or were both military targets?.

Terrorism usually involves only the death of civilian’s, collateral damage in military adventures are always excusable by the unavoidable deaths of those close to the target.

Why didn’t the ‘terrorists’ “Freedom fighters” Choose later flights so they could maximize civilian casualties on impact.
Perhaps they choose the earliest flights so that they could guide the plane in daylight and reduce the number of casualties by arriving before the working day began.

If civilians were the targets then a plane crashed into the Super Bowl would have been more devastating.

However if the Americans had allowed Laden to impose peace in the Middle east, he would by now have become a force to recon with within Middle Eastern peace talks, Isreali cease fires etc and the western controls placed on Opec.
Would the world be a better place?
