WE ARE FAR LESS SAFE NOW THAN BEFORE 9-11-2001

Three years have now gone by since the September 11th attacks in 2001, and
terrorism is a far greater threat to us now than it was then. The number
and severity of terrorist attacks worldwide has increased dramatically, as
has the number of active terrorists. Before 9/11, terrorism was confined
to a small number of extremist individuals, loosely linked by radical
Islam and hatred of Israel and its sole supporter, the USA. Now, many more
moderate Muslims have become radicalized, world-wide, willing to kill
innocent civilians in order to achieve their purposes. And the serious
targets have expanded to include civilians in Russia, India, Maylasia, the
Philippines, Spain, and elsewhere, as well as Israel and its sole
supporter, the United States.

True, the USA has not suffered a successful major attack since 9/11, but
this does not mean that we are safer. The terrorists could strike any time
they choose, through any of the numerous loopholes so well reported in our
media. But they have chosen not to attack, perhaps because they are
waiting to produce an effect even greater than the 9/11 attacks, so they
do not appear to be losing strength.

What could be more spectacular than
the 9/11 attacks? Nuclear! Or massive bio-chemical attack! And I think
this is what they are waiting for. All of our frantic preparations may
have had some effect in preventing small-time casual attacks, but they
cannot stop a serious planned attack, any more than a mere door lock can
stop a serious robber who really wants to get into your house.

So the Bush administration can keep claiming that we are safer now, under
their policies. But this claim is merely feel-good propaganda, intened to
keep the neo-cons in power. It cannot withstand clear-headed scrutiny. The
fact is, Bush policies have failed completely even to diminish terrorism,
much less defeat it. By trying to "stamp out" terrorism by killing
terrorists, Bush and Israel have made things infinitely worse for us: more
dangerous, not safer. And proof that Bush has failed may come at any
moment, explosively, with one big successful attack here in the USA.

May God help us all.
