Bush, Iraq and 9/11

One of the fundamental principles of freedom is that we have the freedom of choice. Unfortunately for the United States and the Middle East, it would seem that we are at the mercy of a condescending US administration, run by 'neoconservatives' who have actually forsaken neoconservative values and feel the need to tell us HOW to be free. A basic tenant of the original neoconservative agenda was anti-globalization. Bush, or whoever he may be representing, has circumvented this basic part of neoconservatism by establishing an imperial view of America that allows globalization to occur by believing that the global government will be America.

In Bush's commentary about freedom, he conveniently omits that freedom, particularly free elections, only count if the result is what the establishment want. In 2004, Joerg Haider, a 'far right extremist' won the Austrian elections in free an fair elections. Austria was black-balled by the rest of Europe and the United States because they didn't like the result. In 2005, the Dutch and the French (primary architect of Europe with Germany) rejected the European Constitution by referendum. As a result, the UK and Ireland scrapped planned votes because it was obvious they would fail also. In our 'free' world, these setbacks do not stop the establishment from continuing to force their own brand of freedom on us. It will not be long before we will be inundated with votes until the desired result is achieved.

The people of Iraq had an oppressive regime, of that there is no doubt. But when Bush tries to connect the oppression of primarily Shia Muslims under a minority Sunni regime, it makes absolutely no sense to say that the Sunni al Qaeda organisation would feel hopeless to the point of attacking America because of its own oppression of the Shiites. Unfortunately, while these facts are all readily available, that al Queda is made up of Sunni Muslims, and that the most oppressed in Iraq were Shia Muslims, nobody in the mainstream media seem to either bother or care enough to connect the dots. With a small amount of analysis, it becomes plain that the truth is not what we are told, it is the conglomeration of seeming disparate facts that paint the true picture when logically reviewed.
