THE UNITED STATES IS THE LEADING WORLD TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

THE BACKGROUND

The Downing Street Memo out of England and plenty of other evidence make clear that President Bush intended to invade Iraq almost from the day he took office in 2001. Bush Junior had never forgotten what he took as an insult to his father by Saddam Hussein, but more importantly Iraq possessed two things that Afghanistan did not - a spot on the face of the Earth of strategic military importance, and huge supplies of oil. Oil was profit if one owned stock in oil-related industries as both Bush and Vice President Cheney did (and do), and whoever controls oil supplies wields great power in a world dependent on oil. Bush was addicted to both profit and power and was willing to risk his presidency and his country's reputation to gain both.

Attacking Iraq was not going to be an easy sell - America was ripe for revenge, but people were under the impression that Osama bin Laden and Al Queda, the masterminds behind the 9/11 attacks, had been based in Afghanistan. And so Bush set out to change American beliefs. The information from the intelligence community did not support the claims that Saddam Hussein not only had weapons of mass destruction but was even now ready to use them against us in a network of evil involving Al Queda, so Bush created his own intelligence and issued its own reports to the public, the United Nations and the World.

The media was all too willing to support the Administration. In theory the press is in the business of reporting news, but in practice the media is in the business of being in business. News reporting has become what sells. This is not conspiracy theory, it is no more controversial than saying that a car company sells SUVs because the public is willing to buy them and because they are profitable. Simply put, supporting the president sells better to middle America than calling him a liar; beating drums of war is profitable for diversified corporations owning shares in military suppliers; and gaining control of oil supplies is profitable for diversified corporations owning shares in oil-related industries. Again, it is not a conspiracy theory to say that the American media as a whole could be expected to act "patriotically" - that is exactly what we would expect a company concerned about the bottom line to do.

Support came from the entire spectrum of the media. Fox News is well known for acting as little more than a mouthpiece for the Administration, repeating verbatim stories and key phrases fed to them by government spokespeople. As that proved successful other networks followed suit, most notably CNN and MSNBC. But across the board the media abandoned any real efforts to investigate before reporting. The strongest case for war came not from the right but from the champion of the so-called Liberal Media Conspiracy, The New York Times. The Administration leaked fabricated stories; the Times published them as fact; and the Administration was then able to state to the United Nations and the world that *even* the liberal New York Times understood the need for war, thereby gaining credibility that could not have come from the rabid right. (Years later the Times acknowledged that its coverage of the case for war had violated journalistic standards.)

Bush had the support of Congress as well. Elected members of the Senate and House of Representatives are motivated by some of the same forces that drive the media. Calling the President a liar is not likely to go over well to a public that is not being given reasons to believe it; Congressmen and -women are almost uniformly well to do, with financial interests likely to be helped by war; and because even the appearance of being soft on terror was going to make their next election campaign difficult. 2001 was not the time for timidity. And so Congress authorized Bush to do whatever he needed to do to fight terrorism. And voted on a Patriot Act giving unprecedented powers to law enforcement (though few who voted for it had read it or even knew many of the details).

BUSH'S FOREIGN POLICY

Over the years Congress has given Bush virtually everything Bush has wanted to fight a war on terror. Bush has taken advantage of his opportunities to position the United States against the rest of the world. Past presidents have hinted that the US might have authority to govern over all world affairs - Bush has explicitly made that a central focus of his foreign policy. Though we have been unable to suppress guerilla resistance in Iraq we have been exercising complete political and financial control over the country. Under Bush's presidency we have also invaded Afghanistan (and left it in rubble); we lead the removal of the democratically-elected president of Haiti; we have explicitly threatened the democratically-elected president of Venezuela. We have threatened military action against half a dozen other countries as well.

Nor has any US president been so uncompromising in its dealings with other nations. Bush invaded Iraq over the objections of the United Nations. Under his guidance the US has participated in the UN only when it was deemed useful, at other times explicitly stating that we are not bound by international consensus or laws. We have ignored decisions of World Courts. We have withdrawn from international treaties on land mines and nuclear weapons, and on the destruction of the atmosphere.

And we have refused to abide by the Geneva Conventions, the international agreements governing the conduct of war and treatment during wartime of foreign citizens and military personnel. This country is now practicing torture. At first secretly, then after the photos from Abu Gharib became public we have defended its use. We are building or operating prisons in secret locations and turning control over them to private agencies so that our government will be insulated from challenge (establishing an "it wasn't us" defense). We are indiscriminately rounding up foreign citizens and causing them to disappear, without charges being brought, the assistance of counsel or trials ever being held. Since the public does not know who has been seized there has been no way to know if they ever get released. We are suppressing the free exercise of non-violent non-Christian religious practices.

I began this piece by saying that the American government in recent times has engaged in conduct far worse than that perpetrated on us. This is a serious charge. The facts support it. Some three thousand Americans died in the 9/11 attacks by Al Queda. In 2007 the number of Americans who have died in Iraq through the actions of President Bush exceed the number killed by bin Laden. If the US withdraws from Iraq today (it is April 2007 now) the eventual American death count from our undeclared war in Iraq will likely be greater than fifty thousand, when the delayed deaths from traumatic stress and the effects of exposure to radioactive American weaponry are added in, meaning that Bush will have killed over ten times more Americans than did bin Laden.

It should also be noted that those shouting the loudest about "supporting our troops" are often the ones doing the least to provide support. Military personnel in Iraq are still lacking basic protection, such as body armor. Military personnel evacuated from Iraq are lacking basic necessities. Veterans benefits have been cut; contractual promises have been broken; and services are being denied. The suicide, homelessness and bankruptcy rates for veterans are absolutely staggering. The ones who are being protected are the private contractors who are the primary beneficiaries of every Supplemental Appropriation. This country has decided that we can afford to wage war but not to take care of those doing it. (This country is also opposed to a compulsory draft that would force its own family members and friends into this devestation, but that is a different issue.)

After the initial justifications for war were proved to be false the Administration defended its invasion with the need to remove a tyrant who had killed his own people. What is not mentioned in these reports is that Hussein at the time was using weapons supplied to him by the US and was given tacit approval for his actions by the US. Still, killing is horrible even if a superpower enables it, particularly when the death toll is over fifty thousand. Following Hussein's attacks on the Kurds and invasion of Kuwait the United States pushed the United Nations to impose sanctions on Iraq, and for the next ten years actively prevented Iraq from obtaining food, water filtration equipment or medical supplies. Reputable estimates are that at least a million Iraqi women and children died from sickness and malnutrition caused by the sanctions. Since our outright invasion over five hundred thousand Iraqis have died, and that death count is escalating. We overthrew Hussein because he killed Iraqis, but he did not kill as many Iraqis as we have. Not even close.

All of this is done in the name of fighting terrorism. One would think that we would be a safer country with terrorism being fought so valiantly but one would be mistaken. We are much less secure in the world now than we were before 9/11.

Saddam Hussein was a tyrant, yes, but as tyrants go he was no worse than many we have supported and continue to support. More importantly, he was no threat to the United States and had no desire to be. By striking out blindly at Iraq we have created enemies in the Muslim world where they had not existed before, and created loyalties among Muslims who had been feuding with each other but now are united in hating the US.

Al Queda was a threat to this country as it demonstrated. We abandoned attempts to capture or kill bin Laden to invade Iraq. Invading Iraq needed to take place NOW but dealing with the parties responsible for 9/11 can take place "eventually." In 2001 Al Queda had the support of a very small part of the Muslim world. With resentment against the US growing every day Al Queda has become more powerful than it ever was before.

Furthermore, by violating conditions of international treaties we were supposedly a part of and ridiculing and threatening countries we were supposed to have been allies with we have severely damaged our relationships with the non-Muslim world. This leaves us more isolated than ever in a world more dangerous than ever. Our security now depends on our being able to dominate the entire world by force indefinitely. History tells us that this is not possible.

BUSH'S DOMESTIC POLICY

Nor has Bush paid attention to making vulnerable targets within our borders safer. Harbors; nuclear power plants; airplanes; chemical factories, reservoirs - you name it, it is as unprotected as it was in 2001. Hussein never had nuclear weapons but he did have biological and chemical weapons that we gave him for his war against Iran. If some other enemy has obtained the stockpiles that Hussein no longer had when we invaded we will be no better prepared to deal with or prevent attacks with those weapons than we were before. Our preparedness for any calamity was amply demonstrated by our completely inept response to the hurricanes that hit our South in 2005.

What is being done is the erosion or wholesale elimination of civil rights here as well as abroad. We now see mass arrests that result in no convictions - and too often do not lead to charges or trials, just indefinite incarcerations. America already lead the planet in percentage of population behind bars before Bush assumed the White House: we are now locking people up at levels not seen even in the so-called evil empires, and holding people in custody on mere suspicion without permitting them even the most basic of rights of a so-called civilized society. Noam Chomsky, a well-known American dissident, points out that compared with the rest of the world we do have freedom of speech, but this is a relative freedom. On the night that the "Leader of the Free World" gave his 2006 State of the Union address a woman in attendance was arrested for wearing a shirt with an anti-war message on it. Increasingly, those who disagree with official policy are being spied on and taken into custody whether or not they pose any risk of violence. And increasingly this is happening even when the groups have a long history of opposing violence of all sorts. When Quakers are being spied on by our government no one is safe! The only rights in this country not under attack are the freedom to bear arms and the freedom to practice the Judeo - Christian sect of your choice; otherwise, no freedoms can be taken for granted any longer.

But Bush's radicalism extends far beyond suppression of rights. Unlike FDR, the last truly radical president, Bush has worked for the betterment not of the common man but for the wealthy and corporations. His tax cuts have shifted wealth upwards faster than any program in US history; and have so depleted the federal coffers that he is able to argue that the richest country on earth is powerless to help the victims of natural disasters. But his record makes it clear that he would be reluctant to help the poor of New Orleans even if we had more available funds than we knew what to do with. When the airline industry suffered huge losses following 9/11 the federal government provided tremendous subsidies for the owners and directors but said that providing aid to the tens of thousands of low-level employees who lost jobs was not the American way.

That preference for aiding the wealthy and abandoning the lower and middle classes has defined most of Bush's domestic policy. Here are but a few examples. No Child Left Behind, his education initiative, was underfunded from the beginning. Programs won't do what they're supposed to do if they can't pay even for what needs to be paid for. But then again, NCLB is doing exactly what it was intended to do - strangle the suffering big-city schools and support private schools - and those who can afford them. Cynical? No, accurate.

American health care is the least efficient medical provision system of the industrialized world. We spend more on paperwork than we do on the provision of care, and the level of care for the average person is lower than that received by average citizens of other industrialized countries. The Medicare "reform" pushed by Bush (and approved by Congress) will make health care more difficult and expensive to obtain for those on the programs, and increase the profits of care providers and insurance companies. The only health Bush cares about is that of big business.

Bush's rejection of science comes in part from his sincerely held religious beliefs (which are as extreme and violent as the sincerely held religious beliefs of Osama bin Laden) but rejecting science has also been useful in catering to the desires of big business. Despite overwhelming evidence of the reality of global warming (2005 was the warmest year on record, and something like half of the hottest years of the past century have occurred in the last decade; the increasing number and ferocity of storms and changing weather patterns are consistent with a warming atmosphere; the polar ice caps are visibly melting) Bush has opposed efforts to reduce pollution because corporations oppose pollution reduction. Despite evidence that known oil supplies are dwindling and that unknown oil supplies are not likely to replace what is gone Bush has resisted oil conservation measures or efforts to develop alternatives to oil because the petroleum industry likes things the way they are (and why not? - Exxon-Mobil made greater profits in the last quarter of 2005 than any company in history). Concerns about the safety of our food (mad cow disease, anyone?) have not been enough to impose regulations and supervision on agribusiness.

(It must also be noted that Bush's rejection of science is catastrophic for the rest of the world that must suffer with increased health risks and decreased access to fuel and other necessities. Bush's plan is to so control oil supplies that unfriendly governments can not jeopardize our "way of life." The irony is that the more we control or destroy oil, water, and grain, the grater will be the desparation and readiness to fight back of those living without. Bush's rejection of science and quest for empire make America significantly less safe globally in any long run.)

THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY

While the ideas have come from Bush they could not have become law without the approval of Congress. Though Congress has occasionally balked at some things (Social Security privatization being most notable) it has not happened often. The Democrats are supposedly an opposition party; in practice they have gone along with most of Bush's radical agenda. Bush has suffered fewer defeats in Congress than any president in our lifetimes.

Though he has been given virtually everything he has asked for the minimal requirements of a democracy with separate branches of government have proven unacceptable to Bush. Wiretapping is illegal without authorization. To engage in wiretapping the executive branch needs to get the approval of a court set up specifically for such purposes. A court that has approved requests at a rate something like 90%. If time does not permit approval in advance the wiretapping can be conducted before permission is granted as long as permission is then requested. Requesting after-the-fact approval has been deemed "inappropriate" by the Bush administration, which has freely engaged in wiretapping without oversight, in clear violation of clear law.

The President is not supposed to be above the law. Richard Nixon had to leave office because he had secretly engaged in unlawful conduct harmful to the country. So important is the presidency that Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about having sex with an adult even though his conduct did not affect the welfare of the country at all.

George W. Bush has brazenly wiretapped the communications of presumptively innocent people, a felony. He has feloniously lied to Congress, thereby preventing it from doing its job. His cronies were under investigation for money laundering and campaign contribution violations in connection with Abromoff, also felonies, so he offered a judgeship to the prosecuting attorney to get him off the case. All of these things greatly affect the operation and welfare of the country as a whole. And yet Congress has so far continued to support the President because partisan politics has been more important to them than the law or the well-being of the country as a whole. This of course can not be blamed on Bush, but it can be blamed on the political Party he leads.

Polls show that when positions are clearly and fairly explained to the public majorities oppose almost everything Bush and the complicit Congress have supported. The catch here is the "clearly and fairly" part. Pollsters are about the only ones trying to frame issues fairly. As I said the media has worked almost as an official state-sponsored public relations arm. For instance, while most people no longer believe that Hussein had WMDs or a connection to Al Queda viewers of Fox television still do - because Fox and other networks continue to permit those conclusions. People believe what the news tells them.

Unlike Pravda, the official voice of the former USSR, American media is not compelled to toe the Party line, it does so if it chooses. Since freedom of the press is a much-loved cliche of this country our government could not easily officially suppress dissent within the media, though it does it unofficially by not cooperating with un-supportive media and branding dissenters as traitors. What it can do is increase the likelihood that the media will choose to stay on-message. Most American major media - broadcast television, radio, newspapers, book publishers - are owned by six international conglomerates and a couple of (only somewhat) smaller American businesses. These few owners can be relied on to speak with the Administration's voice. To make it harder for renegade media to exist the Bush Administration has tried to relax rules regulating monopolies and how many media outlets in a given market one company can own. If, say, Fox were allowed by law to buy and own all the television stations and big newspapers in New York City virtually everyone in NYC would get its news from Fox and might still believe that we had to attack Iraq before it attacked us. A few years ago a first big step to water down rules on media ownership was rejected after word got out to the public which raised a resounding objection. But it has been happening more quietly since then. Increasingly, voices of opposition in our media are being forced into smaller niches and so finding it harder to reach an audience. What this means is that even if the public were inclined to object to what is going on it is unlikely to do so because it will not know about the objectionable.

Even with a non-functioning media information can still get out. That is how the rebellion against the Federal Communications Commission changes arose. And so to protect against voters in a democracy becoming too informed for their own good our government has done to democracy what it has done to education and health care - attempted to put it beyond the reach of the average citizen. In this country that is willing to bomb other nations into democratic practices there is no constitutional right to vote, nor does the constitution require fair elections or accurate counting of ballots. This is one of those statement so important that it needs to be repeated: there is no constitutionally-protected right to vote, right to fair elections, or right to accurate counting of ballots in this country.

George Bush was elected the first time with significantly fewer votes than were cast for Al Gore. There was and could be no challenge to this - under American law the presidency can indeed go to someone who loses the popular vote. While this is clearly undemocratic it is also clearly lawful.

What also are lawful, if not clearly so, are practices that, if observed in other countries, would lead the US to denounce the foreign result as corrupt. People convicted of crimes in the distant past are not allowed to vote ever again. Private companies are being given authority to remove names from the lists of registered voters. Ballots are being constructed in ways that are so confusing that even beneficiaries of the confusion agree that the voters did not intend to vote for them. Voting machines are constructed by people who have publicly vowed to deliver a particular result, and using software so flawed that even if the makers are honest a dis-honest public could alter results. So few voting machines being provided to some precincts that voters have to wait in line for nine hours - even though the State had functioning machines available. And on and on and on. Voting in this country is largely left to the discretion of local officials, who often wield their power like Third World despots. One person, one vote is not the law of this land.

George Bush did not create the conditions that handed him the 2000 election. But he has actively resisted improvements in election practices, and to the extent that he has been able to he has more firmly entrenched the undemocratic practices he inherited.

THE CHOICE IS OURS

Which brings us to the present. The United States of America is arguably the leading terrorist organization in the world, if terror is measured by the disruption and destruction of the lives of ordinary citizens. At home our government is increasing the gap between the haves and the have-nots and decreasing the rights, liberties, and freedoms enjoyed by US people. The media is not investigating and reporting but just parroting. And voting and elections are so undemocratically conducted that change through the democratic process is more difficult than it is supposed to be.

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

This quote is not from some out-of-touch intellectual or a bitter dissident or someone unimportant in some unimportant foreign country. These are the words of Hermann Goering, Hitler's Reich-Marshall, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II.

Each of us has to decide to what degree comparisons with Germany in the 1930s and 1940s are appropriate. All of us have to stop being ignorant, thoughtless followers of our leaders. Freedom and democracy right now are only slogans on t-shirts. They will mean something only if we give them meaning. If we want a world in which freedom and diversity truly are valued we need to work for it because our officials show no sign of permitting those things otherwise.
