Here is another mighty labor by Marcus Gee for the birth of a mouse.
Considering there are 300,000,000 people, and counting, in the United States, how can anyone make such a flat generalization?
He cannot, of course. It's absurd.
I have friends and relatives in the United States, and none of them is worried about terror. They are worried about the economic mess. They are concerned to have American troops come home. And they are horrified at Israel's slaughter in Gaza.
"This is not some paranoid obsession. The events of 9/11 made it clear to everyone that America faced a new enemy that had no compunction about massacring thousands of civilians."
Oh please, the United States armed forces have murdered something on the order of a million people since that one criminal event, all of whose perpetrators died in the act, and virtually none - none - of that million had anything to do with 9/11.
Not only that, but more than 10,000,000 Americans have died since 9/11. Americans murdering other Americans have killed roughly 140,000 in that period. Death on the highways has taken another 280,000 or so. Medical malpractice has killed the best part of a million.
The degree to which a minority of Americans are concerned about terror is the degree to which people like Mr. Gee work regularly to instill fear.
Those defending Israel's brutal slaughter are happy to associate with the word "terrorist" the perpetrators of 9/11 and the victims of Israel’s heartless killing.
