Extremists- no not really
Anyway back to the subject of terror on the streets and the wonderful war on terror. This now reminds me of a hollywood conspiracy.
Arnie flies to a new planet to uncover his lost memory. Apparently random terroists are blowing up air terminals and being chased by the police, civilised society thinks these terrorists are dreadful people and support the state war on terror.
Then the director lets us get to know the terrorists and we realise that their position is not so alien. They are disenfranchised in that no matter what public opinion says the Government of the day does what it wants anyway (Iraq ring any bells yet?). They have no political power to influence change. They have a bonifide cause re persecution (Arnie's related to being a mutant) on earth it relates to being a muslim/arab and wanting to live where you have always lived ie Isreal. But the state won't let you (Isreal not UK) and the larger self appointed world policeman allows the supression to continue for political expediency (Chehnya, Israel, Nepal, Kenya) so how do you fight against the self appointed world government (US - with UK Poodle) you become a freedom fighter and join the revolution (Well Arnie does anyway).
As the head of MI5 has said today, the terrorists are now here for a generation unless we change the perception of the world policeman, unless we stop tolerating oppression in Israel, Chechnya Africa etc. The image of the UK and our position as world terrorism target no 2 is simply becuase of Tony's and previous administrations' unswerving and niaive support for the dumb Bush dynasty (DBD). What he fuck have we got to gain from continuing support to the Isreali government that repeatedly fucks over its own and neighbouring populations. The ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem and areas around it has never been identified as an offence against humanity and yet it should be.
I do not support terrorism, war or killing in any of its forms, but normally I consider that if soldiers want to fight then let them, not my problem. Similarly with Governments, voting just encourages the bastards, but now, really now, they have pissed me off to a very great extent. I am not a muslim or likely to go out blowing up airports but I am beginning to have some sympathy with those that do. If I have some sympathy how must it be to a dissenfranchised muslim teenager in Bradford or Luton?
The stupidity of a one nation focus on foreign policy and the blind faith in one ideology against another (Crusader label anyone?) simply plays into the hands of the extremists. We preach tolerance but in the case of Israel it could properly be called appeasement. If our Government wants to turn this around then give the Israeli's a proper public and embarrassing bollocking, suggest sanctions against them and move against their interests, freeze their assetts and lets get some brotherhood going with the largest minority in the UK, the Muslin minority who contribute so much to our country and at the end of the day take so little from it.
