How awful.

I need to learn to be more cautious and to think things through before posting. I just basically read a bit into the article, gasped, and posted. Perhaps reading the entire article and then waiting 5 minutes to post would be a wise decision for me....:)

In reporting, I make sure to double-check facts before allowing something to run. But I could definitely use a "If your mother says she loves you, check it out" attitude on FR so I stop looking like a moron! I am way too gullible when not in reporting mode.

"Google "Inevitable Ring to the Unimaginable" written 9/13/2001.It's a "chickens came home to roost" piece about 9/11."

I did, and it was very educational. Thanks for the tip. With a statement like this...

"Far from being the terrorists of the world, the Islamic peoples have been its victims - principally the victims of US fundamentalism, whose power, in all its forms, military, strategic and economic, is the greatest source of terrorism on earth."

...Pilger makes it eminently clear where he's coming from, and establishes his level of credibility. On September 13, 2001, I was somewhat preoccupied, like most Americans. Meanwhile, Pilger had the time to write and publish that article, 2 days after the towers fell.

The fact that I found this particular copy on a German Marxist website also speaks volumes about the man and his fellow travelers.

Now please pardon me while I go take a long shower after reading this hack's worthless garbage. But before I go wash the scum off me, let me leave you with the last two sentences from that article:

"It is only a few years ago that the Islamic fundamentalist groups, willing to blow themselves up in Israel and New York, were formed, and only after Israel and the US had rejected outright the hope of a Palestinian state, and justice for a people scarred by imperialism.

"Their distant voices of rage are now heard; the daily horrors in faraway brutalised places have at last come home."
