“Was There an Alternative? Looking Back on 9/11 a Decade Later” by Noam Chomsky
Here’s an interesting example of the dynamic discussed in the previous post; that is, the possible coming together of ideological “opposites” in the name of change and progress. This example comes from Britain, following the curious merger of the Tories (conservative party) and the Liberal Democrats. As Greenwald neatly puts it in his essay: “how citizens of vastly divergent political philosophies can align.”
David Sirota has written a fine piece, “Blowback: Why They Try to Bomb Us,” on the essence of what is holding America back. Until an active majority of Americans can really understand and relate to this message — which is essentially “treat thy neighbor as thyself” — things will not be improving on the “terrorism” front.
