Fork in the Road
By Husayn Al-Kurdi and June Scorza Terpstra

The media feeding frenzy will go on for days now. But, not to worry, the people in the trains and buses mean as little to the "Real Terrorists" as the people in Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine mean to the "civilized" elite of Empire and their G-8 party boy pedophiles playing golf and crashing their bikes into cops in Gleneagles this week. Everything they accuse "terrorists" of doing or wanting to do, they themselves actually DO on a global scale. For example, they killed over three million in their war on Vietnam, (1964-1975). US led activities in Central America produced at least another one million deaths (1971-1990). Closer to home, the bald eagle has a history of holocausting Black and Red people. Whites and Christians may also be dispensed with if massah so decrees it. The Christian Branch Dividian Group can testify to their readiness to use terrorism on "their own people." Mass murder and the removal of resisting undesirables are the principle means for attaining uncontested hegemony.

See the photos of those horrified people with blood and soot on their faces coming off the tubes and buses in London? They will put them in your face for a while. The injured and dead in London today will be used as the reason boys and girls of Empire should join the Imperial wars so they can be part of the latest episode in "The Empire Strikes Back". Ever wonder why you do not see Iraqi or Palestinian faces daily devastated, covered in blood and gore in the "civilized" corporate media from the "civilized" bombings and "civilized" gassings and "civilized" tortures in the invasions and occupations of Empire's "Coalition of the Willing"? "All for Empire" some of my students say with shit-eating grins that "whatever it takes" to keep the US “number one" is the "IT" that they want to "DO". The crisis for the children descended from Europe is this: there is always available the turn at the fork in the road which comes when some event calls the question. The question is: do the killers and destroyers of the world have a right to kill and destroy the world? When leftists, anarchists, progressives, liberals and others join the enemy chorus expressing horror at "terrorism" when it is directed against the "status quo", they are ratifying imperialist rationales directed towards world domination in the name of freedom and democracy.

Beware oh wretched of the earth, oh natives of lands with resources or strategic locations that the Empire covets. Those who actually resist the enemy, whatever their race, religion, or ideological background, are the ongoing and permanent target of the forces of the global fascist's not-so-New World Order. Better get ready. There's a train a-comin but check it for explosives first.

"When leftists, anarchists, progressives, liberals and others join the enemy chorus expressing horror at "terrorism" when it is directed against the "status quo", they are ratifying imperialist rationales directed towards world domination in the name of freedom and democracy."

The terrorism was NOT directed against the status quo, it was directed against ordinary people. They could have been any colour, and of any political orientation. A week ago my girlfriend was at those tube stations. A good friend usually is, but happened to have a dental appointment. Am I clear that you are saying that if someone kills these friends of mine - not just as "collateral damage" in an attack on, say the car of the Prime Minister - and claims they are anti-imperialist, then that is OK? Because if you are, then if we are going for the simplistic us-versus them attitude manifested by several people on this website, then I have to say that YOU are the enemy.

I am old enough to remember the bombing of the Biba boutique, the Angry Brigade, the Red Army Faction. I have gone through the phase of thinking these people are in any way "right-on" . Yes they might have had some good aims, but their strategy and tactics were also a total failure, ethicla arguments apart. I do not support the status quo, I can see an argument that crashing a plane on the Pentagon was hitting a legitimate military target, I know that Islamic terrorism was originally - and may still be - funded by the US intelligence services, etc. My reaction to the post-Sept. 11 war on Afghanistan was that it was wrong, and put my life more in danger from terrorist attack. But 2 wrongs do not make a right. Indiscrimate murder is wrong whether done from airplanes my Americans or by Islamic fundamentalist suicide bombers. A fundamentalist religious Islamic terrorist deserves as little consideration from "progressives" as does a U.S. Christian fundamentalist who firebombs an abortion clinic.

Dear Sir/Madam
I am a Kurd from Sulaymaniyah. After calling Rome, Italy home for sixteen years, I have moved to Australia in 1988 and since then, I can hardly say I’ve been alive, anyways, enough about me and more of the reason for this e-mail.
Last night I stumbled upon an article by Mr ‘Husayn Al-Kurdi’ on the worldwide-web and was blown away by his articulated knowledge and analytic visions, actually in pride and joy I’ve broken to tears. I’ve wished for the entire world to have a closer look at the truth in his writings and be seriously moved the way I did.
Within the boundary of my humbleness, I’ve also realised how dramatically similar—if I may say so—our thought pattern and eagerness was when talking about the “ins and outs” of the Kurdish issue.
Please dear recipient: I am in the middle of editing singlehandedly my first Book, I truly need his e-mail address to exchange some point of views, and ask for some kind guidance, I will truly appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you kindly.
Sincerely
Serwan Hoshyar
