Adequately Defended
Possibly, Rep. Ron Paul is the only member of Congress that has acknowledged the expertise of Michael Scheuer, author of “Imperial Hubris” by talking about: “the impact of our policies in the Islamic world. And because we won’t talk about that here in America, we’re not adequately defended.”
Our politicians and media should begin by talking about the CIA’s term blowback, which is a metaphor for the unintended consequences of it’s activities, which are kept secret from the American people. In 1953, the CIA feared there would be blowback from its reprehensible interference in the affairs of Iran. By installing the Shah to power, the CIA brought twenty-five years of tyranny and repression upon the Iranian people, which concluded with the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution. That covert operation helped convince many people throughout the Islamic world that America was its mortal enemy.
In 1980, Iraq’s president, Saddam Hussein, invaded Iran. Hussein was supported by the United States, because Saddam was seen as a bulwark against the spread of Iranian-style Islamic revolution.
We assumed Iraq’s professional army would score a quick victory, but they didn’t reckoned with Ayatollah Khomeini’s holy warriors. Waves of young boys volunteered to become martyrs, clearing minefields by running across them. Eight blood-soaked years later, hundreds of thousands of young men and boys had been injured or killed.
Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11, and fifteen of the nineteen perpetrator were Saudi Arabian Sunni Muslims. None were Shiites from Iraq or Iran. Sixty percent of the people in Iraq are Shiites, who were oppressed for many years by Saddam’s Sunnis. The Sunnis make up only 20 percent of the population and the Sunni insurgents don’t want to be ruled by the Shiites majority, so their fighting against Democratic rule.
Our military-industrial complex is again threatening the Iranians. Our politicians don’t want to even consider that Iran’s desire for a nuclear weapon would be to protect themselves from capitalistic imperialist.
Grand Ayatollah Saanei insists: “Martyrdom for your faith should never be confused with suicide terrorism. Terrorists should go to Hell, and that is our belief. But if the enemy attacks us, we have the right to defend ourselves in any possible way.”
