“The irony and paradox of our eternal ‘war on terrorism’ — whether waged by Republicans or Democrats — is that it is a great gift to bin Laden and his burgeoning legion of imitators worldwide. As in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when our planes were used as weapons against us, al-Qaeda and its allies use our technological and military prowess against us. The very fighter jets that sow destruction in the hinterlands of Pakistan will reap a bumper crop of little Osamas — now one of the most popular names parents give to their male children across a wide swath of Pashtunistan and throughout the Muslim world.” (09/08/08) Link: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=13427 Filed under: RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
