But the everlasting truth
is that the relative handful of suicidal jihadi who have perpetrated
murderous episodes of terror like 9/11 and this weekend’s carnage in Paris
did not exist in November 1989; and they would not be marauding the West today save for
the unrelenting arrogance, stupidity, duplicity and mendacity of
Imperial Washington………
It
was just blowback carried out by that infinitesimally small
salient of mentally deformed young men who can be persuaded to strap on a
suicide belt.
Needless to say, bombing won’t stop them; it
will just make more of them.
Ironically, what can stop them is the Assad
government and the ground forces of its Hezbollah and the
Iranian Republican Guard allies. It’s time to let them settle an ancient
quarrel that has never been any of America’s business anyway.
But Imperial Washington is so caught up in its
myths, lies and hegemonic stupidity that it cannot see the obvious.
And that is why a quarter century after
the cold war ended peace still hasn’t been given a chance and the reason
that horrific events like last week’s barbarism in Paris still keep happening.
