Islamofacism -- is the USA to blame for 9/11?
In response to the excellent post by my friend Greg Hertzch:
As a student of history, Greg is probably aware of the paralyzing embargo that FDR placed upon imperial Japan . As we starved the Japanese war machine of oil & rubber, we could hardly claim neutrality. Many believe, as do I, that FDR purposely forced Emperor Hirohito's hand. And while not knowing exactly WHEN or where the Japanese would attack, FDR knew (and secretly hoped) it would happen eventually.

I say "hoped" because war gives a president the public support he needs to consolidate politcal support and enact all kinds of new legislation, which included the illegal internment of Japanese Americans (Guantanamo/Padillo/enemy combatants), the Draft (coming soon), and the illusion of economic prosperity through huge goverment military spending. The invoice for this 'jobs creation program' will be presented to the American public shortly, and mostly likely paid for through a severe currency inflation (as occurred after WWII and Vietnam). Savers, the backbone of any economy, will be crushed.
While one may dismiss Ron Paul's comments about 9/11 being "our fault", the similarities to 12/7 (Pearl Harbor) are strong. Certainly the continuing support of Israel, installation of the Shah of Iran, and other meddling in Middle Eastern affairs is going to have consequences. Do you see Arabs blowing up buildings in Switzerland?
So, what to do about Japanese, German, and Islamic Facism? Ignore it, along with the suffering and death imposed on millions of innocent citizens, or fight it and risk being drawn into battle on foreign soil at huge expense and cost of American lives? Will we have to face our enemies eventually, perhaps under worse odds when much of the entire world is under facist (communist) domination, or will foreign totalitarianism collapse under it's own weight before ever reaching American shores?
Our libertarian founders were non-interventionist: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none", to quote Thomas Jefferson. But, nuclear missles and biological weapons of mass destruction, capable of annhilating millions in the hands of one insane facist, didn't exist back then. The Monroe Doctrine established our right to defend American interests outside of American soil, even at the risk of war. We do not have to wait till our enemies are fully armed and poised to attack before taking pre-emptive action to defend ourselves.
I submit that while our first choice in foreign affairs is non-intervention, we must never view war as a last resort.
Respectfully,
