[Marxism] bipartisan 9/11 propaganda (was conspiracy theory)

[Andrew Pollack <acpollack2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at the Times' review of Disney/ABC/Iranian exile-reactionary's 9/11 
movie:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/08/arts/television/08path.html
For the Times the reviewer is surprisingly evenhanded toward both parties, 
saying there's more than enough "blame" to go around.
And in a sense she's right. Clinton was perfectly happy to bomb the shit out of 
thousands of people, but didn't go after bin Laden or the Taliban as much as he 
might.
What does that say about the Democratic Party in that particular decade as a 
pro-war, pro-imperialist party which nonetheless made different tactical 
choices than the Republicans might have (emphasize might)?
And much more importantly, what does it say about the politics of this country 
that "who's to blame" for 9/11 is even the debate the country is having? I.e., 
a debate about why "we" didn't bomb more Arabs sooner and harder -- and not why 
"we" are in fact the enemy, the bad guys?
There will be no debate on 9/11 about whether the US has the right to dominate 
other countries. There will be no debate about whether we should apologize for 
9/11 in Chile. There will be no debate about whether we should apologize or pay 
reparations for the thousand and more our tax dollars butchered in Lebanon, 
whether in 2006 or in 1982.
So f*** the conspiracy theory debate.
