Am I a Terrorist Mr Bush?

Am I a terrorist Imdymedia UK?


reconcile yourself with this:


national security strategy excerpt:
 http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/nss/2006/intro.html

"My Fellow Americans, America is at war. This is a wartime national security strategy required by the grave challenge we face - the rise of terrorism fueled by an aggressive ideology of hatred and murder, fully revealed to the American people on September 11, 2001. This strategy reflects our most solemn obligation: to protect the security of the American people."

excerpts:
from part III:
 http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/nss/2006/sectionIII.html


"To wage this battle of ideas effectively, we must be clear-eyed about what does and does not give rise to terrorism "


"The terrorism we confront today springs from:

Sub-cultures of conspiracy and misinformation. Terrorists recruit more effectively from populations whose information about the world is contaminated by falsehoods and corrupted by conspiracy theories. The distortions keep alive grievances and filter out facts that would challenge popular prejudices and self-serving propaganda. "

--------------------------------------------------------------
it gets much more sinister:
a definition of democracy? or a plan for a
global corporate market state???
--------------------------------------------------------------

"Defeating terrorism in the long run requires that each of these factors be addressed. The genius of democracy is that it provides a counter to each. In place of alienation, democracy offers an ownership stake in society, a chance to shape one's own future.

In place of festering grievances, democracy offers the rule of law, the peaceful resolution of disputes, and the habits of advancing interests through compromise.

In place of a culture of conspiracy and misinformation, democracy offers freedom of speech, independent media, and the marketplace of ideas, which can expose and discredit falsehoods, prejudices, and dishonest propaganda.

In place of an ideology that justifies murder, democracy offers a respect for human dignity that abhors the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians. "

my note: Iraqis say US raid on home killed 11 family members

after using Sept 11th in opening this document - the London Bombs are then used to justify

-----------------------------------------------

"Democracies are not immune to terrorism. In some democracies, some ethnic or religious groups are unable or unwilling to grasp the benefits of freedom otherwise available in the society. Such groups can evidence the same alienation and despair that the transnational terrorists exploit in undemocratic states. This accounts for the emergence in democratic societies of homegrown terrorists such as were responsible for the bombings in London in July 2005 and for the violence in some other nations. Even in these cases, the long-term solution remains deepening the reach of democracy so that all citizens enjoy its benefits. "

BBC: US backs first-strike attack plan
 http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/americas/4812562.stm

excerpts:
The US will not shy away from attacking regimes it considers hostile, or groups it believes have nuclear or chemical weapons, the White House has confirmed. In the first restatement of national security strategy since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the US singles out Iran as the greatest single current danger. The new policy backs the policy of pre-emptive war first issued in 2002, and criticised since the Iraq war. But it stresses that the US aims to spread democracy through diplomacy.


The also new document highlights seven "despotic" states: North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Belarus, Burma and Zimbabwe.


The policy of the US, according to the opening words of the 49-page document, is "to seek and support democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world".
