Sam > The fact is we declared war on terroism ,Do we wait for it to come to us or do we hunt it down ,like Bush is doing In reply, I will refer you to this article which, in my opinion, comes closer to the truth than the one the US government has presented and is presenting to the world. politics.guardian.co.uk >>>We now know that a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was written in September 2000 by the neoconservative think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. ....the so-called "war on terrorism" is being used largely as bogus cover for achieving wider US strategic geopolitical objectives. In fact, 9/11 offered an extremely convenient pretext to put the PNAC plan into action. The evidence again is quite clear that plans for military action against Afghanistan and Iraq were in hand well before 9/11. Given this background, it is not surprising that some have seen the US failure to avert the 9/11 attacks as creating an invaluable pretext for attacking Afghanistan in a war that had clearly already been well planned in advance. The 9/11 attacks allowed the US to press the "go" button for a strategy in accordance with the PNAC agenda which it would otherwise have been politically impossible to implement. The conclusion ..... must surely be that the "global war on terrorism" has the hallmarks of a political myth propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies required to drive the whole project.<<< Mighty strange how the "terrorists" always seem to play into the hands of those who determine US foreign policy, especially in the Mid East. In fact, whoever or whatever the "terrorists" are, they don't have an objective or a policy except the one the US government gives them or proclaims for them.
