THERE IS NO ISLAMIC WAR
I really wish I knew which history book this letter writer read from when he had his letter posted recently in the Everett Herald. (And for that matter--I would like to know why the editors of this paper didn't catch his erroneous gaffes either!)
The writer in question posts great examples of historical events and 'attacks' to push his ideological vision of a 'war' supposedly started by Islamic fundamentalist groups--and claiming that the US itself has been under attack since that day; in 1979.
But these aren't attacks. Just the results of our meddling in the affairs of other countries.
Most of those events detailed briefly in the 1980s and early 90s wasn't just funded in part (or in secret) by Iran or Saudi Arabia, but also Libya. (Did the writer forget that last part?)
However, these all have curious links back to past Presidents such as Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and now Bush II. Our foreign policy dictates of the last 30+ years has allowed radical groups like Al-Qaeda to exist.
Because we were responsible for their creation in the first place!
As for the war with Islam? There isn't one. Just an ideological fool's fantasy; bred to insinuate that we have a dire threat that must be dealt with on a global scale.
Strange thing is, is that we are dealing with only a localized event. Not a worldwide one.
No one country has fallen to these radical groups. No one army has been defeated. No pocket of Western civilization has been subjected to the extremist ideas perpetuated by these same fanatics which we helped breed and create for our own sinister purposes.
In short, there is no fire. Just the usual fear and ignorance.
