More than 50 years ago the American Black Muslim Malcolm X
talked about " chickens coming home to roost ". Is not daily injustice
also a form of terrorism ? Among the working class-the class that does
the fighting and the dying for the ONE PERCENT - there is ZERO support
for more U.S. military action in the Middle East.
The bells will not toll in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris for the thousands of faceless, Islamic " collateral damage " from this daily bombing of Syria.
14 years after President George W. Bush declared war on terrorism the terrorists have not even been terrified. I fail to see anything cowardly about these suicide bombers : maniacal , no doubt , but not cowardly. Compare them to our heroic teams of nerdy- and possibly psychotic themselves- drone pilots.No victory parade in the near future for them. Or for our gallant hospital bombers in Afghanistan.
A lot like the war on drugs, the war on terrorism is both a miserable failure and a moral catastrophe.
Nothing changes if nothing changes. As a democratic Socialist myself I recommend a strong dose of working class solidarity .
Terrorism can be replaced by more rational international class struggle.
Senator Bernie Sanders should ponder the famous Canton Speech of his hero, Eugene V. Debs. Debs said very eloquently that the only just war is CLASS WAR. We have had quite enough of Wilsonian blather.
