Sovereignty, Empire, Capital, and Terror

[Dave Monroe]

Milbank, John.  "Sovereignty, Empire, Capital, and

economic oppression. Within a matter of days after the
attack on the World Trade Center, the United States
already may have killed more people in response to the
attacks than died in them, through increased and
tightened sanctions in the Near East which bring
pressure on governments through the deliberate
terrorization of civilian populations. So why this
unprecedented outrage? There may be two answers
here...."
