in fine<\/em> l’essence d’une politique et une perception du monde qui sont celles de l’am\u00e9ricanisme.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tVoici ce commentaire :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab It’s unfortunate that the Bush administration’s deceptions are so often countered with flawed reasoning. To emphasize that none of the 9\/11 hijackers was an Iraqi is to imply that if they had been then somehow the war in Iraq would have made more sense.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Suppose every one of them had been an Iraqi and they had been acting under orders from Saddam Hussein, would the war then be justified? In that scenario, should the 27 million people of Iraq have been held responsible?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The problem in the American response to 9\/11 was not that it ended up focusing its desire for revenge on the wrong target; it is that it failed to accept that an appetite for revenge must never guide foreign policy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The trauma of 9\/11 unleashed an awesome force that the Bush administration has shamelessly exploited and renewed at every opportunity: mass fear. The biggest lie that it continues to use to its advantage is that the antidote to fear is safety. Democrats echo that view as though it was the gospel truth. Indeed, the American response to terrorism has been to guarantee that isolated acts of terrorism can effectively terrorize a whole population. This fusion of the deed and the reaction was quickly embedded in popular discourse as soon as the words terrorism and terror started being used as synonyms.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb America did not face its darkest moment on 9\/11 yet in the 1930’s a shadow was cast across the whole nation. The new president did not respond to that emergency by promising to protect the people but rather by rousing national courage as the only means to combat fear. Roosevelt was responding to an economic catastrophe, yet his words would have been well worth remembering on 9\/11 and are well worth repeating now:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The difference between then and now was that at that time, a large segment of society was struggling to survive. After 9\/11, according to Bush, the nation’s needs would best be met if Americans kept on shopping, but a nation addicted to its comforts is, not surprisingly, a nation lacking in courage.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
