Rarement il nous aura \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 de mesurer un tel sentiment de r\u00e9volte, r\u00e9volte d’un jour peut-\u00eatre, r\u00e9volte d’un instant contre soi-m\u00eame sans doute, mais r\u00e9volte, sans aucun doute, et aussi quelque panique qui s’ensuit. C’est une colonne furieuse du c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Thomas L. Friedman, que l’International Herald Tribune<\/em> du 30 septembre<\/a> a m\u00eame mis en lecture libre (d’habitude, Friedman, columnist<\/em> du New York Times<\/em>, est en acc\u00e8s payant).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCe cri de fureur d’un chroniqueur lib\u00e9ral d’une influence consid\u00e9rable, contre l’abrutissement de l’Am\u00e9rique autour de l’id\u00e9e de la guerre contre la terreur, contre cet encha\u00eenement syst\u00e9mique, contre l’effondrement de l’influence de l’Am\u00e9rique, disons, un instant de lucidit\u00e9 furieuse, un instant, ce n’est pas mal, c’est mieux que le n\u00e9ant g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, dont Friedman est du reste partie prenante en temps courant… Car Friedman n’est pas un anti-guerre, tout le monde le sait, et nous encore plus<\/a>; il ne s’est d’ailleurs pas d\u00e9barrass\u00e9 de tous les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s de sup\u00e9riorit\u00e9 et d’inculpabilit\u00e9<\/a> qui encombrent la psych\u00e9 US, y compris dans ce texte; qu’importe, cela donne plus d’\u00e9cho encore \u00e0 ce cri de col\u00e8re (\u00ab9\/11 has made us stupid. I honor, and weep for, all those murdered on that day. But our reaction to 9\/11 mine included has knocked America completely out of balance, and it is time to get things right again.<\/em>\u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tNous portons rarement Friedman dans notre cur. Certains de ses commentaires m\u00e9ritent une place d’honneur dans le b\u00eatisier absurde qu’est devenue l’Am\u00e9rique, une place d’honneur, sans nul doute. A c\u00f4t\u00e9 de cela, il faut reconna\u00eetre l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement lorsqu’il se produit, lorsque soudain, dans un moment peut-\u00eatre d’\u00e9garement, peut-\u00eatre de lucidit\u00e9 rencontr\u00e9e, peut-\u00eatre de panique devant ce que cette lucidit\u00e9 d’un instant lui r\u00e9v\u00e8le de l’Am\u00e9rique, Friedman hurle contre<\/strong> les loups: \u00ab9\/11 has made us stupid<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abBefore 9\/11, the world thought America’s slogan was: Where anything is possible for anybody. But that is not our global brand anymore. Our government has been exporting fear, not hope: Give me your tired, your poor and your fingerprints.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbYou may think Guant\u00e1namo Bay is a prison camp in Cuba for Al Qaeda terrorists. A lot of the world thinks it’s a place we send visitors who don’t give the right answers at immigration. I will not vote for any candidate who is not committed to dismantling Guant\u00e1namo Bay and replacing it with a free field hospital for poor Cubans. Guant\u00e1namo Bay is the anti-Statue of Liberty.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbRoger Dow, president of the Travel Industry Association, told me that the United States has lost millions of overseas visitors since 9\/11 even though the dollar is weak and America is on sale. Only the U.S. is losing traveler volume among major countries, which is unheard of in today’s world, Dow said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTotal business arrivals to the United States fell by 10 percent over the 2004-05 period alone, while the number of business visitors to Europe grew by 8 percent in that time. The travel industry’s recent Discover America Partnership study concluded that the U.S. entry process has created a climate of fear and frustration that is turning away foreign business and leisure travelers and hurting America’s image abroad. Those who don’t visit us, don’t know us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWe can’t afford to keep being this stupid! We have got to get our groove back. We need a president who will unite us around a common purpose, not a common enemy. Al Qaeda is about 9\/11. We are about 9\/12, we are about the Fourth of July – which is why I hope that anyone who runs on the 9\/11 platform gets trounced.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 2 octobre 2007 \u00e0 10H11<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rarement il nous aura \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 de mesurer un tel sentiment de r\u00e9volte, r\u00e9volte d’un jour peut-\u00eatre, r\u00e9volte d’un instant contre soi-m\u00eame sans doute, mais r\u00e9volte, sans aucun doute, et aussi quelque panique qui s’ensuit.
