Terrorism and America!

 

The classic definition of terrorism is violence directed against civilians to make a political point. The term shouldn't be applied to an indigenous population fighting an irregular war against a foreign occupying army, since that would have made everyone from George Washington to the French Resistance to the Afghanis confronting the Soviet occupation "terrorists." Robert Parry Consortiumnews.com.

This is so damn correct! As something I have read before, U.S are using "terrorism" the same way as it did with "communism" during the cold war! A standing point for its military presents overseas as the international police.

American, at least in most of its modern time, was selling its value to other people and has done it pretty well without any big obstructions. They get used of being the propagators and started to take this as granted by God! So when things happen overseas that don't seem to follow the U.S way, instead of observering and learning them rationally, they will jump out of their trench, put a gun againest those guys' heads and put them on knees to follow! After doing this, they feel good about it, because they are making one more piece of this ugly, chaos world beautiful and back in order!

When we are reviewing the history, we always say "They should changed their policy then, and I also think they knew they should have changed it! But why haven't they?". It is true that big power like U.S knows in its gut when and why they should change their policy, but history tells us that few of them made it, eventually vanished as ashes. why?

I think bureaucracy plays a role here! Everyone in the game knows that they should change their course, yet no one wants to do so, because everyone worry about that he may be the one being sacrafied. When there are changes, there are lossers. No one can be sure who will be the lossers before the changes complete. Whey someone find there is nothing more he can lose, he raised up and called and led a revolution to change them all, at lease that's what they said at first. That's why I think progressive evolution has never been the milestone of history course, revolution is! American has never been a revolution nation! With all the respect to their contribution to the scientific innovation and cultural diversity, I think they have been, are and will be scared to death while facing big changes. They take current government as granted and only cycling its presidency; They take stability as granted and confused by the chaos elsewhere; They take freedom as granted and shocked by the way other people live on their way there. They take themselves as granted and deny the fact that there are other people out there equally share this planet.

Terrorism is just an arbitrary term! If there is no terrorism, there will be other-risms, just like terrorism following communism. So don't pay much attench to its meaning, it doesn't mean anything, but it matters everything if you are up to something!

United States today is in many ways a socialist country. Among many problems that challenge its glorious history, one of most urging and fundamental one is whether it is OK to have a big government. It is obvious to me the framers did not like government. That is why the Constitution was set to constrain the power of government. Americans should stop their "God's deed" for a moment and reconsider the role of the government and restore the Constitution to its original intention.
