U.S. Mid-east policy to blame

[maxx]

Former CIA agent Mike Scheuer corroborated what some people were saying following 9/11, that U.S. foreign policy precipitated 9/11,not their jealousy of our freedoms or any of the other hogwash the Republicans were throwing around. Lynn Cheney called people like Chomsky traitors who blamed America first.

Stephen Colbert's interview with Scheuer last night can be found at Comedy Central online.

I'm by no means defending the actions of Bin Laden or other Muslims terrorsists, but I tend to agree with the CIA agent.

The Michael Scheuer interview

Chomsky Zinn Said Rosneberg are not traitors but just like their counterparts in Israel Pappe', Goldberg Goldstone other social historians they tell us things we dont really want to acknowledge itis our policies and intervention... unfortunately after decades of these policies and interventions people on the street are seeing us tied together with these things.. If we were smart we would push for a fair resolution in Palestine [[believ it or not that is a galvanizing issue) where Israel security and Palestine's viability would be number one. we would stop prompting up dictators that are insensitive to their people and support people to people exchanges.. Stop demonizing Mulsims and be spefici towards the terrortists. Help develop the social foundations that the terrorists know gain confidence...schools, hospitals etc.. the terrorists cant be smarter than us..but they win when they take care of widows and the poor. They win with providing social services and we loss when provide bombs and warfare items..
