SOME PEOPLE PUSH BACK, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens by Ward Churchill
Link to Essay by Ward Churchill.
Written shortly after 9/11 - the essay is described by the author as "more a stream-of-consciousness interpretive reaction to the September 11 counterattack than a finished piece on the topic."
He has a refreshingly different point of view not often heard (in the U.S.) in todays climate of fear.
"they've given Americans a tiny dose of their own medicine.. "
"...it would require another 49,996 detonations killing 495,000 more Americans, for the "terrorists" to "break even" for the bombing of Baghdad/extermination of Iraqi children alone."
"Were the opportunity acted upon in some reasonably good faith fashion – a sufficiently large number of Americans rising up and doing whatever is necessary to force an immediate lifting of the sanctions on Iraq, for instance..."
"No matter what its eventual fate, America will have gotten off very, very cheap."
