The Highway to Hell

"Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that The State has lost its mind and is punishing so many innocent people is intolerable. And so the evidence has to be internally denied."
Arthur Miller, US Playwright, October 1996

"The world now thinks the US has lost its mind"
former U.S. secretary of State Madeleine Albright
Toronto Sun, 10 Feb 2002

"Kill a man and you're a murderer. Kill thousands and you're a conqueror. Kill everyone and you're a god."
French film, 'Masculin, feminin' by Jean-Luc Godard, 1966

"Bush's prejudice and conservatism is very reminiscent of Bin Laden and this makes them both a danger to the world."
Norman Solomon, Tehran Times, 6 Feb 2002

Below is an excerpt from a full page graphic that appeared in the London Times 12 February 2002

"President Bush’s State of the Union address, the most powerful speech he has delivered to America, should rightly be seen as an essay in fundamentalism."
London Times, 29 Jan 2002

"The greatest danger to America's dominant position today is not Islamic Fundamentalism. It is the arrogance of American Power."
London Times, 7 Feb 2002

"As FTW has documented in previous stories, major deployments of U.S. and British forces had taken place before the [9/11] attacks. And the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan for several years. There is now evidence that what the world is witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan - at least four years in the making – and that, from reading Brzezinski’s own words about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center attacks were just the trigger needed to set the final conquest in motion."
From the Wilderness Publications, Feb 2002

"A top-level Bush administration delegation unveiled plans yesterday to widen US involvement in Colombia's civil war, including training, arming, and providing air support to Colombian troops to protect a pipeline carrying US oil.... The plan calls for $98 million to train and equip a Colombian army brigade to protect the oil pipeline that carries oil belonging to Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum ....In Washington yesterday, three respected human rights groups charged that Pastrana's government has failed to meet human rights conditions for continued US military aid. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the Washington Office on Latin America accused Colombian government forces of extensive collaboration with an illegal right-wing paramilitary group that has been massacring suspected rebel collaborators."
Boston Globe, 6 Feb 2002

"..The humane response of people all over the world to the terrorism of September 11 has long been hijacked by those running a rapacious great power with a history of terrorism second to none. Global supremacy, not the defeat of terrorism, is the goal; only the politically blind believe otherwise."
The Colder War, by John Pilger, The Mirror, January 29, 2002

'The Grand Chessboard : American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives'

Part 2: Other Terrorist Fundamentalism

Bin Laden senior aide, Abu 'Ubeid Al-Qurashi, in al-Qaida's biweekly Internet magazine, Al-Ansar, Feb 9 2002

"In 1989, some American military experts predicted a fundamental change in the future form of warfare... They predicted that the wars of the 21st century would be dominated by a kind of warfare they called 'the fourth generation of wars.' Others called it 'asymmetric warfare'…

Fourth-generation warfare, the experts said, is a new type of war in which fighting will be mostly scattered. The battle will not be limited to destroying military targets and regular forces, but will include societies... the distinction between war and peace will be blurred to the vanishing point...

[T]he Islamic nation has chalked up the most victories in a short time, in a way it has not known since the rise of the Ottoman Empire. These victories were achieved during the past 20 years, against the best armed, best trained and most experienced armies in the world (the U.S.S.R. in Afghanistan, the U.S. in Somalia, Russia in Chechnya and the Zionist entity in southern Lebanon) and in various arenas (mountains, deserts, hills, cities). In Afghanistan, the Mujahedin triumphed over the world's second most qualitative power at that time ... Similarly, a single Somali tribe humiliated America and compelled it to remove its forces from Somalia. A short time later, the Chechen Mujahedin humiliated and defeated the Russian bear. After that, the Lebanese resistance [Hizbollah] expelled the Zionist army from southern Lebanon.....

Technology did not help these great armies, even though [this technology] is sufficient to destroy the planet hundreds of times over using the arsenal of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The Mujahedin proved their superiority in fourth-generation warfare using only light weaponry. They are part of the people and hide amongst the multitudes. ...

Thus, it appears that there are precedents for world powers and large countries being defeated by [small] units of Mujahedin over the past two decades, despite the great difference between the two sides....

Al-Qa'ida takes pride in that, on September 11, it destroyed the elements of America's strategic defense, which the former U.S.S.R. and every other hostile state could not harm. These elements are: early warning, preventive strike, and the principle of deterrence....

In addition to the destruction of these three elements, al-Qaida has dealt Americans the most severe blow ever to their morale: One of the Western strategies determined that the best means of bringing about a psychological defeat is to attack a place where the enemy feels safe and secure. This is exactly what the Mujahedin did in New York.

It appears, therefore, that the imbalance between America and the Mujahedin … is exactly what is needed to confront the Western military machine, particularly the American [machine]. [America] is baffled by fourth-generation warfare that suits jihad avant-garde – especially at a time when the Islamic peoples have re-espoused Jihad after they had nothing left to lose because of the humiliation that is their daily lot."

Fourth Generation Warfare Is Here
University of Virginia, Center for South Asian Students, Fall 2001 Newsletter

"...the heartland of Islamic extremist terrorism is now western Europe, where U.S. military power has less to offer by way of a solution. That's why understanding [shoe bomber] Richard Reid's world is so important.... with the camps in Afghanistan destroyed, many of the world's most dangerous terrorists are not in the Islamic world at all but in the cities of western Europe. ......After the triumphs in Afghanistan, it's tempting to think that the American military machine, on its own, can rid the world of terrorism. The lesson of the shoe bomber's story: it can't."
