The hypocrisy of the U.S. "war on terrorism" may be quite shameless, but this doesn't mean that anti-U.S. terrorism is a myth. It's a deadly serious matter that requires a serious response. The Bush administration has indeed responded -- with foreign invasions, high profile arrests that lead nowhere in particular, the black hole of Guantanamo Bay, endless hyped alerts, and the Patriot acts -- that is, with publicity and fear. But looked at practically, its "war on terrorism" is a fraud. It has only increased the dangers of terrorism abroad without protecting us from terrorism at home. It has used the issue of terrorism and the "war on terrorism" to further concentrate power and wealth in the hands of the few. Ashcroft has declared that those who criticize the Patriot Act are aiding terrorism.²³ Bush says we are either with him or against him in his "war on terrorism." If we care about our safety, not to mention justice and liberty, we'd better be against him.
