This is a LIE political cartoon
The truth is we were attacked because of specific foreign policies.
President Bush feeds us a lie about 9/11 in order to serve special interests.
Bush claimed, "America was targeted for attack because we're the
brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world."
The cover story that Bush feeds the American people robs
the American people of the chance to decide for themselves if they want
to continue to be put in harm's way over specific foreign policies. You

| "It is an exaggeration to say that only the most powerful are
granted the authority to establish norms of appropriate behavior -
for themselves. The authority is sometimes delegated to reliable clients.
Thus, Israel's
crimes are permitted to establish norms: for example, its regular
resort to "targeted killings" of suspects - called "terrorist
atrocities" when carried out by the wrong hands. In May 2003,
two leading Israeli civil rights attorneys provided "a detailed
list of all of the liquidations and all of the attempted assassinations
that Israel's
security forces carried out" during the al-Aqsa Intifada, from
November 2000 through April 2003. Using official and semiofficial
records, they found that "Israel carried out no less than 175 liquidation attempts" - one attempt
every five days - killing 235 people, of whom 156 were suspected of
crimes. "It greatly pains us to say the following," the
lawyers wrote, but "the consistent, widespread policy of targeted
liquidations bounds on a crime against humanity." Their judgment is not quite accurate. Liquidation is a crime in the wrong hands, but it is a justified, if regrettable, act of self-defense when carried out by a client, and even establishes norms for the "the boss-man called 'partner,' " who provides authorization" - Noam Chomsky, Hegemony or Survival, p24 |
