Yet again another invaluable reminder from Bill Blum on what is going on the world, behind the shows - not least the so-called 'war on terrorism' - displayed for our benefit by the corporate media in North America and Europe.... Henri Afghanistan in the 1980s and 90s ... Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s ... Libya 2011 ... Syria 2012 ... In military conflicts in each of these countries the United States and al Qaeda (or one of its associates) have been on the same side. 1 What does this tell us about the United States' "War On Terrorism"? Regime change has been the American goal on each occasion: overthrowing communists (or "communists"), Serbians, Slobodan Milosevic, Moammar Gaddafi, Bashar al-Assad ... all heretics or infidels, all non-believers in the empire, all inconvenient to the empire.
