t r u t h o u t – Norman Solomon | Beware the “War on Terror”
“Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It’s a tactic. It’s about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we’re going to win that war. We’re not going to win the war on terrorism. And it does whip up fear. Acts of terror have never brought down liberal democracies. Acts of parliament have closed a few.”
US Army general, William Odom, Retired, Nov/2002 on C-SPAN.
