11 Sept 2008
Once again, the 11th of September is upon us, bringing more questions than answers.
The New York Times had an article that few Arabs believe the US report that 19 Arab shebabs managed to destroy the Twin Towers, damage the Pentagon, and crash a fourth plane in a field, killing all aboard. Which is not surprising, given all the US websites claiming to have ‘proof’ that Arab shebabs were not involved. The fact that none of the authors or readers of these websites has studied elementary metallurgy or mechanical engineering doesn’t stop them from including complex metallurgical and mechanical engineering formulae in their analyses (all completely wrong or inappropriate) ‘proving’ the impossibility that 11 Sept ’01 occurred in the way the world watched on television. My first question is not, ‘What really happened?’ but ‘Why can’t people believe their own eyes?’
I personally spoke to the family of one of the 19 martyrs who died to oppose what he perceived as US neo-Imperialism, and they are quite proud of their martyr, but cannot understand how he managed the courage to die such a painful, fiery death. They have no such courage, but are inordinately proud that one family member did. The only thing that would give them that courage would be a US campaign against them, a campaign to exterminate all of them in the name of vengeance and prophylaxis, a campaign that made it clear that they had nothing to lose by suicide attacks on US forces. As of current date, the US has not done that to the family I visited, only to Iraqi and Afghani families who had nothing to do with 11 Sept ’01.
Still, I have spoken to many people who believe either that there were never any shebabs, or that the 19 shebabs were duped, thinking they were going to hijack the planes to a friendly Middle Eastern country, only to find that Mossad had tampered with the autopilots so that Mossad could direct the planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, in parallel with contradictory belief that no aeroplane could have caused the collapse of the twin towers.
My second question is, ‘Why does everyone say that Bush, Jr. is so stupid?’ ‘What,’ I ask, ‘has he lost of economic value?’ The US is a democracy. After the 19 shebabs destroyed the Twin Towers, the US voters wanted to punish all those responsible, meaning everyone associated with cloth head coverings, or, as they are commonly known, ragheads. These include not just Arab shebabs, but also other Muslims, and even Sikhs. The US voters pronounced guilty every member of any group associated with an ethnic group that ever wore turbans or ghutras or keffiyehs. After Bush, Jr., ordered vast sums of money spent to kill a confirmed 87,387 Iraqi civilians (up to unconfirmed estimates of more than a million Iraqis and Afghanis), the US voters confirmed his actions in the 2004 election. The voters attempted, unsuccessfully, to vote against Bush, Jr. in 2006, but the Democratic Congress, elected on an anti-Bush, Jr. platform, said it must continue to give Bush, Jr. carte blanc to do whatever he wants. For seven years, Bush, Jr., has given huge no-bid contracts to his friends, and no one dares question his actions. No Third World president would call this stupid! So my second question is, ‘Why does anyone else?’
My third question is, ‘What happened to the idea of individual responsibility?’ After World War II, the English-speaking world was indoctrinated with the idea of individual responsibility. The Allies hanged Nazis for (among other things) practising collective punishment. English-language documentaries of World War II condemned collective punishment. When Timothy McVeigh killed 189 men, women, and children, US investigators tracked him down, then the US criminal justice system tried, convicted, and executed him and him alone (one accessory before the fact was incarcerated, but avoided execution since he didn't actually participate in the actual bombing).
But I was young and foolish when I watched those documentaries, and drew the wrong conclusions. The Nazis were not wrong for practising collective punishment, but for practising collective punishment against Europeans. Europeans are individualistic, and must be held individually responsible. But every Mercantile Imperialistic Power justifiably utilised collective punishment against Asians, Africans, and the Aboriginal inhabitants of the Western hemisphere and the Pacific islands. These people are tribal, so, if one commits a crime, it is appropriate to execute twenty members of the tribe as punishment. This is also cheaper than paying for criminal investigations to ascertain the actual perpetrator.
So, when 19 shebabs killed 3,000 US citizens, the appropriate response was to kill at least 80,000 tribesmen as punishment. As an Israeli tank commander responsible for killing Palestinians as collective punishment told me, ‘What else can you do about suicide bombers? Give their families medals?’
Once, after a commoner executed a King of England, then held control of the country until his death, the courts ordered his dead body tortured and mutilated in punishment. But, after 11 September 2001, there weren’t even any dead bodies to torture and mutilate, so what response other than collective punishment was possible?
After all, the Nazi scientists ‘proved’ that only Western Europeans are really human: Slavs, Jews, Asians, and Africans are more closely related to the Simians than to Western Europeans.
And this is a position that is extremely popular with the Simians, who, like many proud families, try to deny any association with close family members confined to institutions for the criminally insane. Or worse, close family members who should be confined to such institutions, but who have managed to elude institutionalisation. In consequence, the Simians enthusiastically agree that they might be related to Asians and Africans, but are completely unrelated to ethnic Europeans.
And I certainly can't blame the Simians for their position.

I think that this is even more obviosuly demonstrated now thanks to the current presedential elections and the disgust for the war that George Bush led the country into.
