Något fler, ja. I ett krig som startades av Usama.
Tror du på vad du själv säger? Att det är Usama som har startat den onda cirkeln? Isåf är du skrattretande lättlurad. Snart säger du väl att Usamas mål är att utrota demokratin och göra hela västvärlden till muslimer.

Oavsett vad man anser om USA, måste terror bekämpas. Att inte bekämpa terrorism, är detsamma som att säga att terror lönar sig. Då kommer vi få se fler stora terrordåd.
"Då kommer vi få se fler stora terrordåd".. huh? Du vet att terroristerna har en agenda va? De har drivits så långt att de tar sina egna liv för att bekämpa sin fiende. Det är inget som de glider runt och sysslar med i brist på annat. Lösningen är inte att "bekämpa terrorism".. lösningen är att ta reda på vad som utlöste terroristhandlingarna. _Varför_ utfördes handlingen och mot vem? Terrorism utförs inte i ett land på måfå.
USA kan inte "bekämpa terrorismen" med militära inavasioner. Det är sådana militära övergrepp som har skapat terrorismen. Och varje militärt angrepp mot andra länder kommer enbart skapa fler terrorismvänliga individer.
Usama "valde" inte att "starta upp al qaida och döda lite amerikaner".. al qaida tränades av CIA för att bekämpa Sovjets invasion av Afghanistan tillsammans med amerkanska trupper. Det var bara det att efter att Sovjet slagits tillbaka så lämnade inte USA landet. Kanske var det naivt av Usama att tro att de skulle det, men det är hans fulla rätt att hata dem för det. Där började det..
USA's ständiga stöd av Israels övergrepp på Palestina ska vi kanske ta upp också. Eller USAs och Storbritanniens stöd av Saddam under 80-talet, bl.a. då han invaderade Iran, med amerikanska vapen.
USA's extrema brott mot mänskligheten i Vietnam är kanske inte något Usama tänker på.. men väl en viktig detalj om vi ska prata om terrorism och agression. Amerikanerna använde bl.a. kemiska stridsmedel och sprängde systematiskt sönder dammar och kraftverk. Krigsbrott som hamnar i samma nivå som många av nazisternas. Ska vi ta Nicaragua också? äh, orkar inte mer.
Det finns en enkel lösning för att slippa att bli attackerade av terrorister -
* Sluta genomföra dåd som föder extremisterna med nya medlemmar.
* Sluta stödja hänsynslösa diktaturer (Saudi Arabien, Irak m.fl.)
* Sluta veto-rösta ned fredsförslag efter fredsförslag i FN för Israels ockupation av Palestina.
* Sluta invadera länder i mellanöstern på eget bevåg utan det minsta stöd från resten av världen.
Läs på lite mer om USAs utrikespolitik de senaste 50 åren så får du se vad jag menar. Usama måste döda några hundra tusen civila till innan han kommer upp i samma liga som Bush och hans föregångare.

Ett läsvärt brev...
Dr. Robert M. Bowman, a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the USA Air Force, in an open letter to the USA President, George W Bush (2001):
"We are not hated because we practice democracy, freedom, and human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in third world countries whose resources are coveted by our multinational corporations. And that hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism..."
"We are the target of terrorists because we stand for dictatorship, bondage, and human exploitation in the world. We are the target of terrorists because we are hated. And we are hated because our government has done hateful things. In how many countries have we deposed popularly elected leaders and replaced them with puppet military dictators who were willing to sell out their own people to American multinational corporations?"
"We did it in Iran when we deposed Mossadegh because he wanted to nationalize the oil industry. We replaced him with the Shah, and trained, armed, and paid his hated Savak national guard, which enslaved and brutalized the people of Iran. All to protect the financial interests of our oil companies. Is it any wonder there are people in Iran who hate us?"
"We did it in Chile when we deposed Allende, democratically elected by the people to introduce socialism. We replaced him with the brutal right-wing military dictator, General Pinochet. Chile has still not recovered."
"We did it in Vietnam when we thwarted democratic elections in the South which would have united the country under Ho Chi Minh. We replaced him with a series of ineffectual puppet crooks who invited us to come in and slaughter their people, and we did. (I flew 101 combat missions in that war....)"
"We did it in Iraq, where we killed a quarter of a million civilians in a failed attempt to topple Saddam Hussein, and where we have killed a million since then with our sanctions. About half of these innocent victims have been children under the age of five."
"And, of course, how many times have we done it in Nicaragua and all the other banana republics of Latin America? Time after time we have ousted popular leaders who wanted the riches of the land to be shared by the people who worked it. We replaced them with murderous tyrants who would sell out and control their own people so that the wealth of the land could be taken out by Domino Sugar, the United Fruit Company, Folgers, and Chiquita Banana."
"In country after country, our government has thwarted democracy, stifled freedom, and trampled human rights. That's why we are hated around the world. And that's why we are the target of terrorists."
"People in Canada enjoy better democracy, more freedom, and greater human rights than we do. So do the people of Norway and Sweden. Have you heard of Canadian embassies being bombed? Or Norwegian embassies? Or Swedish embassies. No. We are not hated because we practice democracy, freedom, and human rights."
"Instead of sending our sons and daughters around the world to kill Arabs so the oil companies can sell the oil under their sand, we must send them to rebuild their infrastructure, supply clean water, and feed starving children. Instead of continuing to kill thousands of Iraqi children every day with our sanctions, we must help them rebuild their electric power plants, their water treatment facilities, their hospitals; all the things we destroyed in our war against them and prevented them from rebuilding with our sanctions."
"Instead of seeking to be king of the hill, we must become a responsible member of the family of nations. Instead of stationing hundreds of thousands of troops around the world to protect the financial interests of our multinational corporations, we must bring them home and expand the Peace Corps. Instead of training terrorists and death squads in the techniques of torture and assassination, we must close the School of the Americas (no matter what name they use). Instead of supporting military dictatorships, we must support true democracy; the right of the people to choose their own leaders. Instead of supporting insurrection, destabilization, assassination, and terror around the world, we must abolish the CIA and give the money to relief agencies."
"In short, we do good instead of evil. We become the good guys, once again."
"The threat of terrorism would vanish. That is what the American people need to hear. We are good people. We only need to be told the truth and given the vision. You can do it, Mr. President. Stop the killing. Stop the justifying. Stop the retaliating. Put people first. Tell them the truth."
