   What was the invasion and occupation of Iraq but an act of terrorism?   
   Everyone now knows that the faux war was born of a fraud. The   
   deception had no legitimate purpose except to terrorize countries that   
   (a) produce oil, (b) harbour Al-Qaeda or (c) threaten Israel.   
      
   Even the invasion of Afghanistan, considered a legitimate response to   
   9/11, could have been avoided. The Taliban appropriately asked the US   
   to provide evidence of Osama bin Laden's complicity in the 9/11 affair   
   before deporting him.   
      
   Instead, we attacked Afghanistan to the cheers of terrorizing   
   avengers. "We'll show you what we do to those who terrorize America!"   
   was the mantra. The USA is still terrorizing Afghanistan, thereby   
   increasing Al-Qaeda cells.   
      
   The icing on the spread-fear cake has involved the USA terrorizing   
   Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Not only are the countries America   
   bombs terrorized. Every other country that might disobey our commands   
   is threatened and made to fear for its existence.   
      
   Human life outside America and its stooges isn't worth a tinker's damn   
   to terrorist America. Some 567,000 Iraqi children under the age of   
   five died from American sanctions on Iraq. On 60 minutes in 1996,   
   Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said: "We think the price is   
   worth it."   
      
   As of January 2010 and since the invasion and occupation of Iraq in   
   2003, 1,366,350 Iraqi lives have been lost to terrorist slaughterers.   
   "Never mind," you say? "The price is worth it. Beside, they're only   
   Muslims who want to multiply and take over the world."   
      
   Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and rendition programmes have been   
   nothing but terrorizing to plant fear in the hearts and minds of any   
   Arab or Muslim with negative feelings toward America.   
      
   According to Chris Hedges, "An Arab American, Syed Fahad Hashmi, made   
   provocative statements, including calling America "the biggest   
   terrorist in the world". That led to his arrest and prosecution on   
   trumped up charges, in much the same way that Professor Sami al-Aryan   
   lost his job and freedom for being an outspoken critic of US and   
   Israeli policy.   
      
   Hedges relates the terrorizing effect of these prosecutions even of   
   American citizens. "The state," he says, "can detain and prosecute   
   people not for what they have done, or even for what they are planning   
   to do, but for holding religious or political beliefs that the state   
   deems seditious. The first of those targeted have been observant   
   Muslims, but they will not be the last.   
      
   Chris Floyd points to incidents in countless towns and villages across   
   America's terror war fronts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen   
   where a multitude of grieving, angry Iraqis are further embittered   
   against the American occupation by America's terrorist killings.   
      
   "You want to stop the 'radicalization' of young Muslims? Chris asks.   
   "It's simple: stop killing innocent Muslims in wars of domination all   
   over the world. Stop running 'covert ops' in every nation of the world   
   (as Obama's 'special envoy' Richard Holbrooke admitted last week) -   
   murders, kidnappings, corruption and deception that make a howling   
   mockery of the very 'civilized values' these wars and ops purport to   
   defend."   
      
   If America wants to stop terrorism, it needs to stop terrorizing the   
   world.
