Il est tr\u00e8s symptomatique et tr\u00e8s symbolique de l’\u00e9volution des esprits \u00e0 Washington, autant que de l’\u00e9volution du personnage lui-m\u00eame, qu’un article<\/a> d’opinion de Zbigniew Brzezinski (dans le Washington Post<\/em> du 25 mars) figure dans les commentaires favoris du jour (Today’s Highlights<\/em>), sur le site Antiwar.com<\/a>. On conna\u00eet ce site dirig\u00e9 par Justin Raimundo. C’est l’une des premi\u00e8res r\u00e9f\u00e9rences des anti-guerres, des anti-establishment<\/em> aux USA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIl faut dire, bien s\u00fbr, que Brzezinski<\/a> a fortement \u00e9volu\u00e9. Il n’emp\u00eache, le texte qu’il publie dans le Post<\/em> constitue une mise en cause fondamentale du syst\u00e8me par le biais de la mise en cause de la dialectique de la guerre contre la terreur. Brzezinski la pr\u00e9sente comme une mise en condition des citoyens am\u00e9ricains, pour d\u00e9velopper chez eux une culture de la peur, nous dirions plut\u00f4t, pour notre compte : une psychologie de la peur.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tNous croyons \u00e9galement, contrairement sans doute \u00e0 Brzezinski, que ce n’est pas nouveau, que cette tentative presque inconsciente, presque m\u00e9canique, de cr\u00e9er une psychologie de la peur, pour faire d\u00e9pendre les psychologies du syst\u00e8me et de sa puissance, comme on cr\u00e9e une accoutumance \u00e0 une drogue, est une marque de fonctionnement de ce m\u00eame syst\u00e8me ; c’en est presque une condition de sa survie, de son propre point de vue. (Mais la citation de la phrase de Roosevelt par Brzezinski \u00abthe only thing we have to fear is fear itself<\/em>\u00bb n’indique-t-elle pas qu’il se douterait de quelque chose ?)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tMais le processus est arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 son terme, cr\u00e9ant des situations absurdes, dangereuses et potentiellement explosives. Ce dernier point, dans tous les cas, Brzezinski le met en \u00e9vidence. Voici quelques extraits de l’article de Brzezinski, qui m\u00e9rite une lecture compl\u00e8te.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe war on terror has created a culture of fear in America. The Bush administration’s elevation of these three words into a national mantra since the horrific events of 9\/11 has had a pernicious impact on American democracy, on America’s psyche and on U.S. standing in the world. Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe damage these three words have done a classic self-inflicted wound is infinitely greater than any wild dreams entertained by the fanatical perpetrators of the 9\/11 attacks when they were plotting against us in distant Afghan caves. The phrase itself is meaningless. It defines neither a geographic context nor our presumed enemies. Terrorism is not an enemy but a technique of warfare political intimidation through the killing of unarmed non-combatants.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBut the little secret here may be that the vagueness of the phrase was deliberately (or instinctively) calculated by its sponsors. Constant reference to a war on terror did accomplish one major objective: It stimulated the emergence of a culture of fear. Fear obscures reason, intensifies emotions and makes it easier for demagogic politicians to mobilize the public on behalf of the policies they want to pursue. The war of choice in Iraq could never have gained the congressional support it got without the psychological linkage between the shock of 9\/11 and the postulated existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Support for President Bush in the 2004 elections was also mobilized in part by the notion that a nation at war does not change its commander in chief in midstream. The sense of a pervasive but otherwise imprecise danger was thus channeled in a politically expedient direction by the mobilizing appeal of being at war.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbTo justify the war on terror, the administration has lately crafted a false historical narrative that could even become a self-fulfilling prophecy. By claiming that its war is similar to earlier U.S. struggles against Nazism and then Stalinism (while ignoring the fact that both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were first-rate military powers, a status al-Qaeda neither has nor can achieve), the administration could be preparing the case for war with Iran. Such war would then plunge America into a protracted conflict spanning Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and perhaps also Pakistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe culture of fear is like a genie that has been let out of its bottle. It acquires a life of its own and can become demoralizing. America today is not the self-confident and determined nation that responded to Pearl Harbor; nor is it the America that heard from its leader, at another moment of crisis, the powerful words the only thing we have to fear is fear itself; nor is it the calm America that waged the Cold War with quiet persistence despite the knowledge that a real war could be initiated abruptly within minutes and prompt the death of 100 million Americans within just a few hours. We are now divided, uncertain and potentially very susceptible to panic in the event of another terrorist act in the United States itself.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
