clipped from www.firedoglake.comFinally, Zbigniew Brzezinski calls the Bush Administration’s “war on terror” policies out for what they are: blantant fear-mongering in search of an election cycle. Do take the time to go and read his op-ed — it is worth lots of conversation over the next few days and weeks.

clipped from www.boomantribune.comFood for thought. I guess the reason is that the only prominent U.S.-born American academics that were critical of the “war on terror” from the very start are radicals like Chomsky. The native-born non-radicals are just too good at getting with the program.

Hey! Ziggy!The Bush administration didn’t manufacture a “culture of fear.”
It warned against panic and encouraged people not to be afraid after the 9/11 attacks.

clipped from www.theleftcoaster.comBeing True to Our Traditions
Zbigniew Brzezinski writes a fine essay in The Washington Post this morning on the absurdity and dangers of American paranoia (hand over those shoes to get a plane, brave American), but I’m left a little confused by his last sentence: “Let us be true to our traditions.”

clipped from www.californiaconservative.orgWhy is Mr. Brzezinski hinting that we weren’t a nation at war? Is he suggesting that we aren’t at war with the jihadists? The truth is that the jihadists declared war on us during Brzezinski’s time as Carter’s National Security Adviser. We ignored the acts of war, such as the terrorist attacks of the Marine barracks in Beirut, the first World Trade Center attack, the bombings of the East African embassies, the Khobar Towers and the USS Cole. We chose to ignore them until 9/11 forced us to realize that the jihadists had been at war with us for a quarter of a century.

But reason now should tell us that it’s past time to return to American tradition, and to kick open the door and start walking in the sunshine.

clipped from www.poliblogger.comI will confess, my initial response to the 9/11 attacks (and the still unsolved anthrax attacks) was that we were in a position that required substantial actions to counter future attacks. I continue to think that in a general sense that that instinct was correct–and policies such as the dismantlement of al Qaeda’s top leadership and focusing on their ability to acquire financing was the correct one to pursue. I favored a more aggressive policy stances towards international terrorist groups, as I believed (and still believe) that our government’s approach to the issues was too lax prior to 9/11 (from the 1993 WTC bombing to the African embassies to the Cole).

clipped from angryarab.blogspot.com“The “war on terror” has created a culture of fear in America. The Bush administration’s elevation of these three words into a national mantra since the horrific events of 9/11 has had a pernicious impact on American democracy, on America’s psyche and on U.S. standing in the world. Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us...

clipped from cafzal.blogspot.comThe Bush administration’s “war on terror” has proven to be a perfect utility for the reaping of political capital and the submission of the American people. I’ve argued that since day one of this blog. Since then, I’ve branched out and have been writing a paper on “The War on Terror and the Fire Paradox”, while posting excerpts (the final, edited copy will be posted as a PDF and text file once it is finished).
Perspective, thoughts, and musings from “clearthought”. A new, fresh look at all different issues and topics. Intelligent conversation is welcome.

It’s good to see Zbigniew Brzezinski take on the “war on terror” brand in this op-ed in today’s Washington Post. Questioning this trope is long overdue:
