The emergence of Bin Laden as the enemy-in-chief of the United States reflects a momentous change in the nature of warfare. A single individual, albeit one with hundreds of millions of dollars, can now be depicted as a plausible threat to the greatest military power of the Industrial era.
In statements reminiscent of propaganda employed during the Cold War about the Soviet Union, the United States president and his national security aides portrayed Bin Laden, a private individual, as a transnational terrorist and leading enemy of the United States.
This "War" is being sold to the American public with all the hype of a Professional Wrestling storyline. Believe nothing uttered by the Four Network AnchorWhores. I just switched to CBS, and there was Dan Rather crying on "Late Night" with Letterman holding his hand, as he explained to the public that we could expect a 5-10 year campaign to rid the world of evil, and we had to make sure this generation wasn't too "spoiled" to stay on board for the whole performance. He also tossed in a few comments about how we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein when we had the chance, and meddled in various other things that were none of our business. Funny, I don't notice Dan Rather crying about the Iraqi kids who can't get their cancer medicine because of sanctions, or the fact that the Zionist Entity is presently shelling Palestinian Kindergartens and shooting unarmed mentally handicapped people. Washington DC, New York, and Tel Aviv all need thermonuclear disinfecting. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:. Mathematical Munitions Division "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law"
