Plus la crise du syst\u00e8me de l’am\u00e9ricanisme progresse, plus les r\u00e9flexions sur cette crise et sur ce syst\u00e8me acqui\u00e8rent de la profondeur. Un sujet de pr\u00e9dilection de cette r\u00e9flexion est le complexe militaro-industriel (CMI), ou le Warfare State<\/em> (jeu de mots attrist\u00e9 sur Welfare State<\/em>, intraduisible en fran\u00e7ais malgr\u00e9 tous nos efforts puisqu’il devrait donner l’Etat-guerrier pour l’Etat-providence). C’est ce sujet qu’aborde Norman Solomon dans une r\u00e9flexion, ce jour<\/a>, pour Antiwar.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tSolomon est un sp\u00e9cialiste du probl\u00e8me fondamental de la militarisation de l’Am\u00e9rique, application \u00e9vidente de la situation du complexe militaro-industriel. Ses r\u00e9flexions rencontrent celles de James Carroll<\/a>, \u00e9galement cit\u00e9 dans notre F&C<\/em> de ce jour<\/a>. L’ignorance europ\u00e9enne, et particuli\u00e8rement fran\u00e7aise, de l’ampleur et de la profondeur de ce monstrueux ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne am\u00e9ricaniste nous fait un devoir de nous pencher sur les sp\u00e9cialistes dissidents am\u00e9ricains du domaine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tSolomon d\u00e9veloppe la th\u00e8se d\u00e9sormais tr\u00e8s r\u00e9pandue de l’omnipr\u00e9sence du Complexe, voire de sa confusion radicale avec le syst\u00e8me, avec le gouvernement, voire avec la population. Pour Solomon, la responsabilit\u00e9 des citoyens US est grande, parce qu’ils ont laiss\u00e9 se d\u00e9velopper ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne. D’ailleurs, eux-m\u00eames n’en sont-ils pas p\u00e9n\u00e9tr\u00e9s ? \u00abLet’s Face It: The Warfare State Is Part of Us<\/em>\u00bb. Effectivement, Solomon d\u00e9veloppe l’argument de la responsabilit\u00e9 collective, implicitement celui d’une psychologie collective infect\u00e9e par un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne syst\u00e9mique qui, aujourd’hui, conduit la civilisation vers l’ab\u00eeme.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abPolitical and personal histories are usually kept separate in how we’re taught, how we speak and even how we think. But I’ve become very skeptical of the categories. They may not be much more than illusions we’ve been conned into going through the motions of believing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWe actually live in concentric spheres, and politics suffuses households as well as what Martin Luther King Jr. called The World House. Under that heading, he wrote in 1967: When scientific power outruns moral power, we end up with guided missiles and misguided men. When we foolishly minimize the internal of our lives and maximize the external, we sign the warrant for our own day of doom. Our hope for creative living in this world house that we have inherited lies in our ability to re-establish the moral ends of our lives in personal character and social justice. Without this spiritual and moral reawakening we shall destroy ourselves in the misuse of our own instruments.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWhile trying to understand the essence of what so many Americans have witnessed over the last half century, I worked on a book (titled Made Love, Got War) that sifts through the last 50 years of the warfare state… and, in the process, through my own life. I haven’t learned as much as I would have liked, but some patterns emerged persistent and pervasive since the middle of the 20th century.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe warfare state doesn’t come and go. It can’t be defeated on Election Day. Like it or not, it’s at the core of the United States and it has infiltrated our very being.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWhat we’ve tolerated has become part of us. What we accept, however reluctantly, seeps inward. In the long run, passivity can easily ratify even what we may condemn. And meanwhile, in the words of Thomas Merton, It is the sane ones, the well-adapted ones, who can without qualms and without nausea aim the missiles and press the buttons that will initiate the great festival of destruction that they, the sane ones, have prepared.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe triumph of the warfare state degrades and suppresses us all. Even before the weapons perform as guaranteed.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 23 ao\u00fbt 2007 \u00e0 10H17<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Plus la crise du syst\u00e8me de l’am\u00e9ricanisme progresse, plus les r\u00e9flexions sur cette crise et sur ce syst\u00e8me acqui\u00e8rent de la profondeur.
