-there is a lot of oversimplifiaction and dare i say it false analysis going
on re sept 11.
i think that the institutions that were attacked and the hegemony they
represent are essentially a social value. the military, economic and
political control of the world is more hegemonic and less democratic than
has ever been the case in my short life. the locus of power is concentrated
in so few hands it is almost the divine right of kings all over again.
many terrorist actions and the great majority of opposition to US/UK led
imperialism around the world is rationally based. the relative evil is the
people in power in the US/UK and elsewhere (IMF, World Bank, WTO); the
relative good is the opposition to these forces of control.
the religious question - as is so often the case - is a smokescreen and
simplification that appeals to the simpleminded and fuels fundamentalism.
