L’attaque du 11 septembre 2001 peut sembler une rupture dans divers domaines et cela conduit effectivement \u00e0 la fixer comme l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement \u00e0 partir duquel tout devint diff\u00e9rent en Am\u00e9rique. L’appr\u00e9ciation apaisante et sentimentale qui domine dans les milieux politiques europ\u00e9ens est que cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement, ajout\u00e9 aux caract\u00e8res extr\u00e9mistes qui se sont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9s avec l’administration GW Bush, a suscit\u00e9 un temps nouveau qui exon\u00e8re ce qui a pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 des m\u00eames soup\u00e7ons. Certains vont jusqu’\u00e0 croire que, GW parti, les choses redeviendront comme avant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tLa r\u00e9alit\u00e9 est qu’il y a une continuit\u00e9 directe dans l’\u00e9volution du syst\u00e8me. Les \u00e9v\u00e9nements actuels sont directement enfant\u00e9s par la transformation qui affecta le syst\u00e8me apr\u00e8s le Viet-n\u00e2m, et notamment avec l’arriv\u00e9e de Reagan. S’\u00e9tant d\u00e9couvert aux abois avec les \u00e9v\u00e9nements des ann\u00e9es 1960 et le Viet-n\u00e2m, le syst\u00e8me a r\u00e9agi en installant une structure de puissance ill\u00e9gale et impunie, de r\u00e9seaux de fonctionnement mafieux et para-militaire qui repr\u00e9sente l’ach\u00e8vement de la transformation offensive du complexe militaro-industriel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tTout cela pour recommander la lecture de l’article de Greg Grandin, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par Tom Engelhardt, mis en ligne notamment, ce jour, sur Antiwar.com<\/a>. Grandin, sp\u00e9cialiste des questions de l’activisme am\u00e9ricaniste en Am\u00e9rique Latine, met en lumi\u00e8re la connexion des \u00e9v\u00e9nements actuels, aussi bien int\u00e9rieurs, \u00e0 Washington m\u00eame, qu’\u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur, avec les ann\u00e9es Reagan, le scandale Iran-Contras (l’Irangate<\/em>), o\u00f9 l’on retrouve la plupart des actuelles vedettes extr\u00e9mistes (Bolton, Negroponte, Ledeen, etc.). Cela nous conduit directement \u00e0 l’\u00e9norme scandale de corruption autour du d\u00e9put\u00e9 r\u00e9publicain Randy Cunningham<\/a>, notamment avec un homme comme le n\u00b02 (d\u00e9missionnaire) de la CIA, Kyle Dusty’ Foggo, (\u00ab whose sole qualification for being appointed to that post by just ex-Director Porter Goss seems to have been his ability, while head of the Agency’s Frankfurt post, to hand out bottled-water contracts to friends and show junketing politicians a good time<\/em> \u00bb). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tAu reste, comme nous le rappelle Engelhardt, c’est un anniversaire Le 20\u00e8me anniversaire du scandale Irangate<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab You never can be too early when it comes to an anniversary. It’s barely June, but a quick look down the road reminds us that the 20th anniversary of the Reagan administration’s Iran-Contra Affair lies just ahead this November. As Greg Grandin reminds us, Irangate (as it came to be known in the wake of Nixon’s Watergate fiasco) was a kind of coming attractions, right down to its cast of characters, for our own era of right-wing domination, carnage, and now finally full-blown corruption scandals. From Vice President Cheney to the new Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, so many of the Iran-Contra era scoundrels returned to the political stage these last years for a grim second bow and, perhaps not so strangely, similar results though this time not on the relatively parochial stage of Central America, but in the oil heartlands of our planet.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 2 juin 2006 \u00e0 09H10<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L’attaque du 11 septembre 2001 peut sembler une rupture dans divers domaines et cela conduit effectivement \u00e0 la fixer comme l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement \u00e0 partir duquel tout devint diff\u00e9rent en Am\u00e9rique.
