Protection of U.S. Population a Must
By Kamala Sarup
The U.S. is obligated to defend its people and its democracy, so doing it directly defends the people and interests of
the U.S. democracy. Since Middle East is of vital importance to the U.S., it follows that the US will protect the
countries like Israel and many other countries do provide significant of value to the U.S., so the U.S. will spread
democracy.
However, there are so many terrorists willing to die for fundamentalism principles that, because of their large numbers,
the ultimate outcome of this war will be indecisive, in my opinion.
On the other side, therefore, the only reason for the U.S. to establish democracy in the Middle East has always been to
protect its democracy and the oil supply, which a U.S. consortium of companies obtained in the 1933 Saudi oil
concession. Moreover, the Europeans and U.S. were in the Middle East to spread Democracy. U.S. supported Iraq in the
Iraq-Iran war because the Iranians threatened the oil supply to the West by their overthrow of the Shah in 1979.
However, when Saddam became too ambitious and threatened to control Kuwait as well as killing his own people, then he
had to go.
If some important countries would cooperate in waging this war against terrorism abroad, it might be winnable, but they
have domestic problems, and are afraid of U.S. commercial and political democracy in the Middle East, so they are
limited in their willing to fight. The war is pretty much a U.S. affair. In addition, the "establishment of democracy ",
etc., U.S. media publish because Americans do really care whether Muslims adopt them and leaders want the political
forms that limit their power.
Even the London attack will further enrage the western powers against radical terrorists and possibly unite them more in
a common cause. I hope that will be the case.
"I think the U.S. should increase taxes and devote more resources to defeat the terrorism. If people don't get more
serious about terrorism and violence, then it will go on for a very long time - as long as they are able to finance the
terrorists. For example, after the 1983 Beirut bombings that killed 17 Americans at the embassy in April (63 total
deaths) and 241 U.S. marines in barracks in October, why did the president remove the troops instead of declaring war on
terrorists, pursuing them, and improving domestic security? That might have prevented 9/11. Instead, his action
demonstrated to the radicals that the U.S. was vulnerable and could be cowed," said An American Scholar named Stanly.
