An informed woman of courage who tells it like it is .. what a contrast to the sniveling weasel in the white house "Where is the acknowledgment that this was not a 'cowardly' attack on 'civilization' or 'liberty' or 'humanity' or 'the free world' but an attack on the world's self-proclaimed superpower, undertaken as a consequence of specific American alliances and actions?" she wrote in The New Yorker. "In the matter of courage (a morally neutral virtue): whatever may be said of the perpetrators of Tuesday's slaughter, they were not cowards." ------- There is no "war on terror" and there are no terrorists. This is a fight to take from the few and provide an equitable world for all. It will go on for hundreds of years in all likelihood. Destroy Al-Queda and nothing will change. From country to country there will be those willing to fight against the imperialism of the ruling elite.
