<< This is an Imminent Threat | Main | Thank you Alan Greenspan >> February 25, 2004Tenet: US Actions Creating New TerroristsSince Bush launched his global war of preemption, anti-Americanism has spiked around the world, helping terrorists recruit new people to threaten the American people. The source of this damning assessment of Bush's failures? Bush's top intelligence agency heads. Said Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, in Congressional testimony: "Support for America has dropped in most of the Muslim world," Jacoby said in a statement to the committee. Favorable ratings for the U.S. among Moroccans dropped to 27 percent a year ago from 77 percent in 2000, he said. In Jordan, a key partner in the war on terrorism, those rates went to 1 percent last May from an already dismal 25 percent in 2002.So let's get this straight. Before Bush started unilaterally dropping bombs on multiple countries, Muslims in countries like Morroco overwhelmingly liked the United States. Now they hate us. And large numbers of folks who would never join a terrorist group before are now joining international networks to attack the US: Even if Al Qaeda is crushed, terrorist threats will remain because of a global surge in anti-Americanism, the emergence of dozens of groups representing terrorism's "next wave" and the worldwide spread of Al Qaeda's philosophy and "destructive expertise," the nation's top intelligence officials said Tuesday.Of course, these leaders try to spin their own data to indicate something other than a miserable failure by Bush, but the results are clear. Bush's "war on terrorism" has been terrorism's best friend. Bush and Bin Laden are allies, each using the other as a foil to build their own power at the expense of the lives and security of the world's population.

Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: Commentsat least in the short term its not nearly as relevant as most people think whether or not muslims especially arabs like the united states or not. first of all muslims are pretty bad at launching popular revolts and this has to do with sunni political ideology which values "100 years of tyranny over one day of anarchy" (remember that iran is a shia country). more importantly muslims countries don't have any where near the military, economic and diplomatic might needed to pose a threat to the united states and they do not seem likely to develop this ability any time soon. the only real significance of attacks by muslims especially terrorism is the overreaction that these attacks may produce. currently muslims are very much acting against there own interest by fighting against far to many different groups (russians, yugoslavians, americans, israelis, indians, filipinos, african christians, ect.) (basically every important group except the chinese) so even if the united states were to go on a crusade knocking out every independent muslim state (a severe overreaction to anything muslims are capable of throw at us) its unlikely that the rest of the world would turn on us in a serious way unless the muslims seriously mend their relationships with at least some of the above mentioned groups. of course the ideology such a crusade would require could easily cause us to launch crusades against other non-western cultures including ones that can fight properly like the russians.
