Continuing, Unrelenting Terrorism and Mumbai

The terrorism perpetrated by nation-states is much vaster in scope and cause many more casualties than that caused by individuals or groups of individuals even though the corporate media give the majority of attention and condemnation to the latter. There are various types of terrorism. There is periodic terrorism by poor, technologically deficient people against targets of the rich like fancy hotels and restaurants and there is an unrelenting, everyday terrorism, mainly from the sky, on poor innocent people because they happen to live above an oil-rich or strategically important area for western capitalists. This everyday terrorism from aircraft, mainly from the United States and Britain, kills and maims many more people than do the periodic attacks on symbols of the rich and powerful, but oh, which gets the media attention? Does one see Iraqi, Afghani or Pakistani children maimed and blown to pieces like one sees the victims of the Mumbai terrorism? The media don't even cover it and it is not called terrorism, but war. One million Iraqis have been killed, but it receives almost no coverage when compared to the few hundred killed in Mumbai. Little Iraqi children suffer from horrible birth defects due to depleted uranium, but again just try to get some media coverage of these terrible events. In fact, the tons of depleted uranium dropped in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia are a threat to the genetic heritage of the whole world, since the atmosphere is global and the wind can carry radioactive particles anywhere around the planet. This is terrorism on a colossal scale. Wedding ceremonies, funeral processions and tribal gatherings are continually bombed in Afghanistan and the United States will always claim it is an accident. I have been following these events for years and these "accidents" occur every year. When something occurs time after time over a long period, it is likely not an accident. If a child of yours was killed or maimed by a bomb from a foreign power, would that not engender a desire for revenge. Terrorism breeds terrorism. |
