Blowback

Blowback is a term long used by the CIA to classify incidents that seem to be retaliations to something the US has done in the past. This retaliation does not have to be violent either; It is, many a times, just a feeling of ill-will towards the Americans.

Yet, on 9/11, the world saw the most horrific kind of blowback to American policy ever. Why? ..

what propels a man to go kill himself in the hopes of enlightening others .. and lets not forget, bringing death to others at the same time. This can only happen if the country he originates from or the peoples he belongs to have long been side-stepped and trampled upon. It is the direct result of years and years of contempt, malice and ill will towards him and his people.

It is interesting to note that even after Sept 11th/01, the US has not heeded this significant assessment of the attacks, they still went into Iraq and Afghanistan and caused even more devastation, which probably pissed off even more people and gave them reasons to retaliate against the US.

and what can the United States expect anyway? .. terrorism. Simple. American newscasts and other media look at terrorism as a low act.. but, if one thinks about it, what other course of action do these people have? .. do u really think they have not used "talking" as an option before deciding to kill themselves. I am not defending the terrorists. let's get that straight.. but i do wonder what a man has to go through to come to a decision that he wants to kill himself for his cause. That has got to be some motivation.. i have trouble gettin up for 8:30 classes..

Yet, the war and killing continue... the weapons of mass destruction and oil might not be true.. but the one thing that is .. is the fact that many more will die both in the present and for many years to come.

We are going to see a Blowback to thess two wars too. I'll bet my left arm on that wager ...
