Mike...>>>US imperialism was blamed as the cause of the WTC attack. My God! <<< US Foreign Policy supported all the pieces that are now causing the problems. The US supported the Taliban and put them in power because didn't want to see the Russians win in Afghanistan. The US kept giving the corrupted leaders in Pakistan more foreign aid and they used it build up the Taliban. The US supported the Shaw of Iran in spite of the fact that his citizens hated him. Right now the US is playing Kissy, Kissy with the thugs from Syria, and Iraq, so that they join the Bush war on terrorism. Five years from now the two A** Holes from Syria and Iraq declare war on Israel and the US is back at war.(that's Imperialism) The one good thing about our current situation is that its forcing Bush to think globally. His long range plan is a good one. There is no excuse what ever for the actions of the terrorists. Poverty does not excuse murder. But some how the US has got to think about how we put all the pieces in place. Regards, Jerome

michael97123, you posted: Last night at City College NY, my alma mater, US imperialism was blamed as the cause of the WTC attack. My God! Sadly, this seems to be the prevailing sentiment in the political and social "science" departments of many universities. I recall an article in the Toronto Globe and Mail a couple of weeks ago where a political sc. prof at U of T expressed that view, Apparently, no one in the class voiced any disagreement. We were also treated to the views of Sunera Thobani, an associate professor of women's studies at the University of British Columbia, who stated: "From Chile to El Salvador to Nicaragua to Iraq, the path of U.S. foreign policy is soaked in blood. "There will be no emancipation for women anywhere on this planet until the Western domination of this planet is ended." I wonder if women would feel more emancipated if the planet were dominated by hardline Muslim clerics.
