Sabotage is more problematic. It calls to mind bombings and mayhem, which I don't think will achieve anything worthwhile. But sabotage doesn't need to harm living creatures. Systems can be obstructed in many ways, which I can't discuss more specifically because of the police state under which we currently live.
Most of these things can be done individually, relying on the principles of leaderless resistance. They don't depend on organizations, which can be infiltrated and destroyed.
All these actions together can slow down this behemoth, make it a less effective murderer, increase its vulnerability to outside attack. What we do could save the life of a little girl playing right now in the streets of Mosul. If we keep at it, this juggernaut will eventually grind down, falter, and fall. Then the people of that generation can decide what to build in its place.
William T. Hathaway's first novel, A WORLD OF HURT, won a Rinehart Foundation Award, and the second, SUMMER SNOW, has just been published.
It is a peace novel set amidst the war on terrorism as a US warrior falls in love with a Sufi Muslim and learns from her an alternative to the military mentality. The first chapter is on the "Our Books" section of the publisher's website, http://www.avatarpublication.com. He was Fulbright professor of creative writing at universities in Germany, where he currently lives. He can be reached at william.hathaway@ewetel.net
