Jamie Kirchick's fantasies of the grave Muslim threat
Right-wing warmongers invent domestic threats to justify their agenda of wars and expansions of government power.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-09-13]

  • @Elephantman

    Other than "Muslim extremism" (which I think is actually a more pejorative term than "Islamofacsism") is there any greater, more real, more unpredictable and more active threat to world stability right now?

    Certainly the neoconservatives are a greater threat to world stability than the much more poorly armed and funded "islamofascists".

    For one thing, their economic policies are so criminally wrong-headed that they risk a worldwide recession if the dollar tanks. They've already ensured that the US will NEVER get out of debt.

    For another thing, they are loudly proclaiming their desire right now to unilaterally attack Iran, possibly with nuclear weapons.

    For yet another thing, they have seized more power in the US government than any previous administration, at least back to FDR.

    What more do you need to see?
