Re: Is it any wonder that, as Malcolm X said in another context, the chickens have come home to roost?
Or, as I said on Sept. 11.
Well, that's a wobbly line of arguing because, as I claimed again and again, the chickens have not come home on their own! The "terrorist chickens" were sneaked into the US by a Russian/Israeli/French joint-venture. It's a very important point since it breaks down the anti-US hatred equally among the underlings who executed the 911 atrocities AND the actual mastermind(s).
To put the blame narrowly on the US's poor foreign policy (vis-a-vis the Third/Arab World) and the US's blind support to Israel is to fall right into the Judeofascist trap. Indeed, Judeofascist mouthpieces scramble to brand the whole 911 terror plot as a 100%-Arab/Muslim scheme --with no connections/links whatsoever to some non-Arab third party.... They want a purely Arab cast throughout the chain of command, from the 19 hijackers themselves to the accomplices who helped them in Europe and the US, to the brains who financed and planned the whole scheme. AND I JUST DON'T BUY SUCH CRAP.
History is full of similar case studies of political conspiracies, assassinations, financial scams, etc involving the manipulation of sincere, true-blue terrorists by elusive puppetmasters --whether intelligence outfits, prominent businessmen or rogue provocateurs.... The story of the far-left terrorism and the so-called Red Brigades in Italy is a good case in point: in the 1960s and 1970s, the whole European political map was highly "polarized" (Cold War) and both Communism and Anarchism appealed many young, urban, educated idealists. Most of the early recruits and sympathizers of the Red Brigades --and its German counterpart, Rote Armee Fraktion-- were certainly genuine revolutionaries eager to bring about a better world....
Yet, today, after dozens of Parliamentary commissions, declassified documents, investigative books/reportages,... in Italy, Belgium, Germany,... we've learned that most of these underground organizations were, one way or the other, infiltrated by intelligence finks (Gladio, P2,...) from day one. We'd better keep that pattern in mind in watching the current "anti-terror crusade".
