History,
including every personal past destiny is all interconnected with, and
mutually interacted upon with trillions of causes and effects. In
retrospect, finding fault is a useless chore. But that does not mean
understanding past movement of larger forces and learning from them is
impossible unless intentionally made impossible through a blacking
out of all relevant memory.
If
Americans and Europeans were able to review the extremist and deadly
foreign policies practiced upon the Third World, they would well
understand the origin of the desperate and equally tragic tactics
practiced now by the militarily weakest against the far and away
militarily strongest occupying superpower empire and its allies.
Then
understanding the sources of hate on all sides would not be difficult.
Might conceivably even engender some forgiveness, love and compassion.
