hmmm

I am not sure if this is an original thought or not, but it came into my mind after reading about the bombings in jordan recently.

I think the whole organization of the teams of the so called "war on terror" is messed up. Like, there are teams, but they are different than what you think, but it makes sense, at least to me. It isn't divided by nationality or race, but by the role that you play in society. The people who most share your situation and interests, are not your government, your leaders, Bin laden, Zarquawi, but the common people of the so called "rogue states" or "terrorist regimes".

George bush and his administration, corporate leaders, political bosses of america legitimize the actions of Al Queada and terrorists, and The actions of the terroriists legitimize George Bush and what he represents (corporations, neo-conservitism, the religious right). Their interests seem more to be reflections of eachother, they each seem to want the same thing, only there is only room for one of them, and their philosophy doesn't bend or compromise.

I was readng the BBC, the Jordan Bombings were on the front page, and the article said most of the victims were native jordanians, who were celebrating a wedding, and that the strike was caused by the Jordanian goverment's acceptance and coalescence to american forgeign policy. But the jordanian government was not attacked, the people were.

The innocent were victimized for the actions of the ruling elite of their country. The governments and the terrorists seem to be playing analogus roles, with the unwashed masses of each country caught in the center, left to be exploited and have bits of shrapnel embedded in their extremities. The governments and the terrorist organizations to me happen to exist more for themselves than for the people they claim to represent. The people are tricked, deluded into allying themselves with those who actually seek to exploit them. The lines that divide people look to have been turned at right angles, perpendicular to the actual divisions in society along which the root causes of these dilemmas run.



((I think i could have written that more eloquently, and also i didn't mean it to sound as pretentious, immature, an as anti-government as it does, but i wanted to say it, or put it in writing, and then, when i have a more complete understanding of the core concepts behind it, i will look at it again, and phrase it better, but for now, this sort of says what i think, it would have come out better if it hadn't first had to have been filtered throughmy head and then a keyboard.))
