...because they swallowed the "Dubya vs. Osama" version of the fork. Wrong version. > that to go along with the "grievances" of the bombers is akin to going > along with the grievances of the Germans in the 30's. The goal of politics, learning from history, should be to prevent such grievances in the first place. However, this is incompatible with an imperialist/colonist/supremacist agenda, and there's the rub. > Of course there is no over all "right or wrong" just as there is no over > all "good or evil", but the saying seems to ring true: Where you stand > is where you sit. I stand and sit with the producer class, and so are the people who get blown up in terrorist attacks (be it state or non-state terror) perpetrated by and for the predator class. > I happen to sit in the West....and so go along with the West The merely geographic "us vs. them" view is obsolete and has led to 4 world wars. Time to learn from history.
