‘How strange that the architects of the War on Terror seem more closely aligned to the bad guys than to the people whose security they bill as their top priority.

A Dick Cheney has more in common with a Saddam Hussein than with either the Iraqi people he claims to be liberating or the American people he claims to be protecting.

Birds of a feather, mobster elements understand each other, look after each other, and occasionally bump each other off. We slip our protection money into plain envelopes, meanwhile, and hope our homes, livelihoods, and loved ones escape the turf wars and drive-by shootings.

Whether it goes by democracy, autocracy or theocracy, government by extortion is dismally familiar worldwide.’
