Bush caminha para uma armadilha Postado por caio em Monday September 17 2001 @ 08:12PM CDT O Boe manda avisar deste artigo do Robert Fisk: Osama bin Laden -a cada dia fica mais evidente a sua culpabilidade- me falou do seu desejo de acabar com o regime pró-americano no Oriente Médio, desde a Arábia Saudita até o Egito, a Jordânia e outros países do Golfo. Com o mundo árabe se afogando em corrupção e ditaduras -a maioria apoiada pelo Ocidente-, a única ação que poderia levar os muçulmanos a atacar seus próprios líderes seria uma ofensiva brutal e indiscriminada dos EUA. Osama bin Laden tem pouca sofisticação em relações internacionais, mas é aluno atento da arte e do horror da guerra. http://www.uol.com.br/folha/mundo/ult94u29374.shl Leia mais -- Comente

Islam and the West are inadequate banners Postado por caio em Monday September 17 2001 @ 10:30AM CDT Edward Said mandando bem: Osama bin Laden's name and face have become so numbingly familiar to Americans as in effect to obliterate any history he and his shadowy followers might have had before they became stock symbols of everything loathsome and hateful to the collective imagination. Inevitably, then, collective passions are being funnelled into a drive for war that uncannily resembles Captain Ahab in pursuit of Moby Dick, rather than what is going on, an imperial power injured at home for the first time, pursuing its interests systematically in what has become a suddenly reconfigured geography of conflict, without clear borders, or visible actors. http://www.observer.co.uk/comment/story/0,6903,552764,00.html Leia mais -- Comente

Religion's misguided missiles Postado por caio em Monday September 17 2001 @ 10:26AM CDT Richard Dawkins mandando bem: I am trying to call attention to the elephant in the room that everybody is too polite - or too devout - to notice: religion, and specifically the devaluing effect that religion has on human life. I don't mean devaluing the life of others (though it can do that too), but devaluing one's own life. Religion teaches the dangerous nonsense that death is not the end. http://www.guardian.co.uk/wtccrash/story/0,1300,552388,00.html Leia mais -- Comente

How the U.S. Helped Midwife a Terrorist Postado por caio em Friday September 14 2001 @ 07:31AM CDT Do KillYourTV.com: In 1986, CIA chief William Casey had stepped up the war against the Soviet Union by taking three significant, but at that time highly secret, measures. He had persuaded the US Congress to provide the Mujaheddin with American-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down Soviet planes and provide US advisers to train the guerrillas. Until then, no US-made weapons or personnel had been used directly in the war effort. . . . Among these thousands of foreign recruits was a young Saudi student, Osama Bin Laden, the son of a Yemeni construction magnate, Mohammed Bin Laden, who was a close friend of the late King Faisal and whose company had become fabulously wealthy on the contracts to renovate and expand the Holy Mosques of Mecca and Medina. http://www.public-i.org/excerpts_01_091301.htm Leia mais -- Comente

Blowback Postado por caio em Thursday September 13 2001 @ 04:32PM CDT Do KillYourTV.com: "Don’t take my word for it — I saw a piece on MSNBC last year that laid it all out. When the Soviet Union occupied Afghanistan, the CIA trained him and his buddies in how to commits acts of terrorism against the Soviet forces. It worked! The Soviets turned and ran. Bin Laden was grateful for what we taught him and thought it might be fun to use those same techniques against us." http://www.msnbc.com/news/190144.asp Leia mais (1 Comentário) Última modificação Thursday September 13 2001 @ 11:20PM CDT

The awesome cruelty of a doomed people Postado por caio em Wednesday September 12 2001 @ 09:42PM CDT Robert Fisk mandando bem: "this is not the war of democracy versus terror that the world will be asked to believe in the coming days. It is also about American missiles smashing into Palestinian homes and US helicopters firing missiles into a Lebanese ambulance in 1996 and American shells crashing into a village called Qana and about a Lebanese militia – paid and uniformed by America's Israeli ally – hacking and raping and murdering their way through refugee camps." http://www.zmag.org/fiskawecalam.htm Leia mais -- Comente

Attack on U.S. Soil: No Easy Retaliation Postado por caio em Wednesday September 12 2001 @ 06:07AM CDT Deu no Stratfor: In an unprecedented dilemma, the United States has no choice but to declare war, but it cannot yet identify its enemy. Launching a campaign against militant Islam -- an amorphous, transnational movement -- will hurt crucial geostrategic relations. http://www.stratfor.com/home/0109120100.htm Leia mais -- Comente

Stephen Jay Gould Postado por caio em Monday September 10 2001 @ 06:48AM CDT Chimps and gorillas have long been the battleground for our search for uniqueness; for if we could establish an unambiguous distinction - of kind rather than of degree - between ourselves and our closest relatives, we might gain the justification long sought for our cosmic arrogance. The battle shifted long ago from a simple debate about evolution: educated people now accept the evolutionary continuity between humans and apes. . . . But we are so tied to our philosophical and religious heritage that we seek a criterion for strict division between our abilities and those of chimpanzees. . . . Many criteria have been tried, and one by one they have failed. The only honest alternative is to admit the strict continuity in kind between ourselves and chimpanzees. And what do we lose thereby? Only an antiquated concept of soul to gain a more humble, even exalting vision of our oneness with nature http://www.salon.com/weekly/interview960923.html Leia mais -- Comente

Junky Postado por caio em Thursday August 30 2001 @ 04:34AM CDT "Ook al is de verslaafde tien jaar van de dope af, hij kan binnen twee weken opnieuw verslaafd raken, terwijl iemand die nooit eerder gebruikt heeft twee maanden lang elke dag twee shots moet nemen voordat hij verslaafd is. Ik kreeg pas onthoudingsverschijnselen nadat ik gedurende vier maanden elke dag een shot had gezet. Je kunt de verschijnselen van junkziekte beschrijven, maar het is onmogelijk om het gevoel onder woorden te brengen. Pas bij mijn tweede verslaving heb ik ervaren wat junkziekte eigenlijk is. Waarom ontwikkelt een junkie eerder een nieuwe verslaving dan iemand die nog nooit gebruikt heeft, ook al is de junkie al jaren clean? Ik geloof er niets van dat de dope al die tijd in je lichaam op de loer ligt te wachten op een kansje om je te grazen te nemen (je moet 't niet zoeken waar het niet is) en ik neem geen genoegen met alle psychologische verklaringen. Volgens mij veroorzaakt druggebruik een blijvende verandering van de cellen. Eens een junkie, altijd een junkie. Je kunt misschien stoppen met druggebruik, maar je komt nooit meer van je eerste verslaving af." Uit: William S. Burroughs, Junky. Leia mais -- Comente
