>blinkered, knee-jerk anti-U.S. govt. stance Mike Weaver

I've been into American culture and an interested observer of U.S. affairs 
for over 30 years now. That's one hell of a knee jerk! The U.S. government 
has pursued some kind of imperialist course since the Monroe Doctrine. 
During the last 50 years that course has intensified. The current mess 
cannot be saparated from that history.

For us the main propaganda war is not between the supporters of the Taliban 
and the supporters of the U.S. but the latter and their critics.

Only telling how I see it, not what I want - I want Amerika brought under 
democratic control by America. And I want America to take reponsibility for 
being top dog. (And I gotta go to work -byee)

Terrorism cannot be defeated by being attacked, only by having its "fuel" 
channeled into more constructive forms of resistance. The Terror campaigns 
against Tsarist power in Russia only ceased with the growth of the 
revolutionary socialist party. I'm saying the U.S. will face terrorist 
campaigns  until there is something more attractive to the people who get 
recruited by the terrorist organisations.

When will you get it into your skull that what you call 
"anti-globalisation" is actually anti corporate control of the global 
economy. The "left" has been pro internationalism for a very long time
