One more thought on this and that is that Ward Churchill is a brilliant man and we would do well to listen to him. He never said that all the people killed in the WTC were Little Eichmans. He is saying we were attacked and that these people felt they had a reason for doing what they did, they felt justified in doing what they did. What Ward Churchill is basically saying is that we need to look at why they feel this way, what policies has the USA used overseas to give these people the idea they have a right to do this. 911 was not just some random killing, these people did not wake up one morning and go to a map and pick our country to attack. They did not pick us because they hate our freedoms, they picked us because they hate our policies and what they feel our policies has done to them. I am not saying that they were right but I am saying that we can not win this war against terrorism by blowing up the world, by invading countries that do not like us, there are currently 65 countries that have terrorists in them, are we and can we blow them all up or would it not be simpler and save millions of lives including the lives of our own military to re-examine our policies and work toward doing the right thing? What we do does affects the rest of the world and not always in a good way, it is time that we recognize that, own it and seek to fix it. Below is a schedule of when a program comes on that has Ward Churchill's answers to the attack on his essay. It is without a doubt one of the most informative programs I have ever watched. FSTV is on both dish and direct satellite programming and also some cable companies do carry their programming. Oh thanks Jolie I had heard about this of course and was aware of most of it but it was only after reading your posts that I cruising through the list of what was on the tv saw this program was coming on and watched it.
