Who is the enemy?
Bush
and Blair Offer Victory to bin Laden
http://www.btinternet.com/~nlpwessex/Documents/NATOwarlegitimisation.htm
NATO
has legitimised war as the principal response to terrorism - the
world is now paying the price
"September
11 is the date which everyone remembers... December 13 was the
day on which other Islamic suicide bombers attacked India... The
casualties were not so great; the symbolism was identical... No
one can be sure that a major war between India and Pakistan might
not end in nuclear suicide... [their] dispute is on the verge of
taking well over a billion people to war... the further danger is
that the bin Laden strategy will succeed, with or without bin
Laden. His strategy was to use terror to create a general state
of war between Islam and the major powers...The terrorists want
war; they should not be given what they want."
London Times,
Dec 31 2001
"...we
are suddenly prisoners of our own rhetoric..."
Anne Applebaum, MSN.com, 28 Dec 2001,
'Why can't India have a war on terrorism, too?'
"By
declaring war against an undifferentiated, undefined and
fundamentally vague phenomenon like global terrorism, or
terrorism with global reach, we in a sense opened the gates to a
lot of countries to leap into this exercise on our backs. They
are all declaring whoever their enemy is to be a terrorist, and
then claiming moral justification for doing whatever they decide
to do."
Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security
adviser under Jimmy Carter, New York Times, 30 Dec 2001
"Pakistan
probably cannot halt a massive Indian invasion without using
tactical nuclear weapons. This, in turn, could trigger nuclear
strikes against military and civilian targets. I hope both
nations will pull back from the brink, but a false report, or
another raid, could set off a huge, devastating war with
unimaginable consequences."
Toronto Sun, 30 Dec 2001
"Community
leaders in the UK have warned that any major conflict between the
two countries could have repercussions for Britain, which is home
to large Indian and Pakistani populations"
BBC Online, 1 January 2002
On 11 September 2001 America was attacked by terrorists and it decided to bomb Afghanistan in response. On 13 December 2001 the Indian parliament was attacked by terrorists and now, following the example of America supported by its NATO allies, India is on the verge of declaring war on Pakistan in reply.
Ignorance in the form of Bush, and naivete on the part of Blair, are the most dangerous factors influencing world affairs today, or as Nelson Mandela put it: "[Unilateral action in the war against terrorism by the US and Britain] is extremely dangerous because they are introducing chaos into international affairs."
There are several ironies in all of this:
For the last few months we have urged the US and its NATO supporters to 'Fight Smart' and not to take 'the bait'. This plea has been ignored and now the world - including many more innocent American citizens - sits on the brink of encountering the devastating consequences. We have not offered a 'pacifist' approach in the sense of urging 'ok, let's sit back and take it on the chin'. We have offered a specific and proven solution which rapidly addresses the causes of terrorism rather than mindlessly lashing out at its manifestations.
The inherent self-defeating futility of the current war on terrorism is further graphically demonstrated by the discovery of the UK suicide bomber on a recent commercial passenger flight to Miami. The implications of this development were aptly summarised in the words of the London Times again on 31 December: "Will President Bush Bomb Brixton now?... Clearly, Bush and Blair have been looking in the wrong place by seeking a solution in the caves of Afghanistan or in the pages of the Koran... the appeal of Islam [to the disaffected in the west] is only a symptom of a more fundamental loss of coherence at the centre of Western society."
We must be thankful, therefore, that at least one journalist has started sniffing around the real source of the problem. The problem is one of a lack of national and international coherence, and it is one which a large number of papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals demonstrate can be easily and quickly addressed.
Mr Bush and Mr Blair, you are either for terrorism or you are against it. If you continue to adopt methods which are known to inflame terrorism, and if you continue to refuse to deploy approaches which are known to extinguish those fires, then you are guilty of supporting terrorism and you must take responsibility for the resulting consequences that you inflict on humanity.
When are you going to act responsibly? Mr Bush and Mr Blair, if you have an ounce of intelligence between you, please stop behaving as slaves to popular press 'dumb-down', and please start providing genuine leadership - that means deploying those approaches whose effectiveness is supported by scientific evidence. Or in reality are you against science instead of terrorism?
There is still time to act before it is too late. Or do you really wish to go down in history as the leaders of the 'civilised' world who spread terrorism throughout the globe at the very time when the means to stop it peacefully and instantly were readily at your disposal?
