Tilling the Ground for the Seeds of Terrorism by Dennis Kucininch:

After more than 10 years of war against al Qaeda and the accompanying global "war on terrorism," we have failed to learn that our actions create reactions. Our presence creates destabilization, then radicalization. Occupations create insurgencies. In Afghanistan, we have fueled the very insurgency we struggle to fight.
Al Qaeda had relatively little if any presence in Iraq prior to the U.S. invasion. The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, and the subsequent destruction and violence, enabled al Qaeda to flourish. Al Qaeda and its affiliates are now conducting an accelerated campaign of relentless attacks and suicide bombings in Iraq.
Sadly there is another possibility and that could be precisely what they have done with purpose and knowing intent. Create an Illusion and then spend lives and money solving it.
Judging from many of the comments I am not the only one suspicious of the motives of our leadership or what passes for leadership anyway. We are witnessing first hand what can only be called a monumental evil and the ones perpetrating this evil have involved us all by doing it in our name and having us pay for it with our lives and our taxes.
There must be people somewhere in this country with the instincts of the worst criminal intent, people who see nothing wrong in the slaughter of innocents if it gives them the slightest advantage in a game of world domination. And far from being afraid of legal entanglements they are free to do as they please because they are in the drivers seat making the decisions, making the laws with no regard for anything but their own advancement.
And we the people are unwitting pawns in their insane behind the scenes conquest of wealth and power, “no see ums” who have taken control of a nation and are running it like an ant farm; setting us against each other and against people who have done nothing wrong except be in the way of their greedy plans for ultimate power. They have successfully lulled us into thinking that we are living in a democracy when in truth we are living in a country devoted to furthering the interests of the most despicable inhuman modern barbarians.
We have been put to sleep by lullabies of lies; we are kept distracted by sporty entertainments created for that purpose and while we are out to lunch gobbling down unwholesome fare, genetically perverted foodstuffs, someone has been robbing our piggybanks and buying weapons of dismal destruction so they can make more money and kill more men, women and children on our dime. There are no words adequate to describe what has happened to our country or the presumably human beings that are now in control of this nation but monstrous, malicious, without a heart demons from some horror movie that should never have been made come to mind.
And it doesn’t matter an iota whether we support the right or the left they are both in league with the devils of damnation, spending the citizens lifeblood on newer and better killing machines instead of decent healthcare or education for the young. Setting us up for lives in prison so they can profit from housing the unfortunate flies caught in their web of laws; instead of addressing the causes of crime they heartily encourage it.
If this is so and it’s hard to see anyway around it we are stuck in the middle of a gigantic nightmare that is all too real and there is no waking up from it, no passing the buck only the dull thud of a perfect tyranny coming down on our heads.
