The war within America
By ABID ULLAH JAN

Abstract
The more powerful the United States becomes, the more frightened the Americans
are. Why is that?
The reason is that those who are busy in making the US strong by promoting war
abroad are the ones who are keeping the nation frightened to keep themselves in
power and to keep the systems alive that, in turn, sustain them in power.
Without keeping them frightened without promoting a “war within Islam,”[1] the
people at the helm of affairs in the US cannot hijack democracy and usurp their
freedom and money.
There have been voices about the creeping tyranny in the US since long. However,
9/11 redoubled the reaction as at this point chicanery and deceit crossed all
limits. The US is now fully involved in a struggle to determine its own nature
and values, with serious implications for the Muslim world in particular and the
rest of the world in general. What role can its victims, threatened and affected
as they are by its struggle, play in bringing about a more peaceful and positive
outcome of the war within America?
Devising a judicious approach requires a finely grained understanding of the
ideologues from Bush and his team members to a whole range of Neo-cons in the US
who criticize Muslims of blindly following some medieval myths are themselves
neck deep in blood of thousands of innocent beings just for their inner belief
of paving the way for the second coming of Jesus.
Such an understanding would help the rest of the world in identifying
appropriate partners and set realistic goals and means to discourage further
evolution of this blood thirsty ideology of hate.
The rest of the world has three goals in regard to militarized United States in
the hands of benighted war lords. First it wants to prevent the spread of
occupations, extremism, human rights abuses and violence. Second, in doing so,
it needs to avoid the impression that the rest of the world “hates Americans and
their freedom.” And third, in the longer run, it must help the Americans find
ways to help address the deeper causes and malfunctioning of their political
system that brings such people to the top who played a historical role in
promoting many monsters from Hitler to Saddam and who continue to do so in other
parts of the world. The world needs to help the Americans understand causes that
glorify militant radicalism and to encourage a move toward real democratization.
The stark contrast in what appears on the mainstream media and what the whole
world watches on the weblogs shows the extent of conflicts that mark the present
day United States. And the stark difference in the way the reality is project on
both sides of the divide makes the picture more confusing. It becomes easier to
sort the actors if one thinks of them not as falling along a spectrum but as
belonging to two distinct categories. One that proves that the US system and
resources have been exploited by a few elite and the other being the alleged
elite itself ignores all the facts that are being unearthed with increasing
frequency.
It is then possible to see which category is more concerned about freedom at
home and abroad, democracy and equal rights and lies and deceptions perpetrated
as means to justify megalomaniac designs of shaping the world in the image of a
few globalist totalitarians. On the basis of such analysis it would not be
difficult for victims to identify components of a specific strategy to deal with
the war within America to which New York Times referred on October 17, but
covered only a fraction of it.[2]
