All right. My premise is the US government
is not morally Justified either economically or philosophically
to coercively interfere in the Affairs of other countries.
I want to start by getting to the root cause of why we would
want to be in Empire. As Thomas Seoul says the purpose
of being an Empire is to be left alone.
However, it's not our Empire. We are not being a fighting
force, you know, I was expecting.
Opposition to interrupt me. I was not expecting, friendly
fire. So if you could mute the, the
the the woman, if you could, if you could mute the woman in the
bottom-right indefinitely, I would appreciate it.
So the reason is well, we have to go to war or else we will get
attacked. Our citizens are at risk.
I want to well, first row refute, this by quoting Osama
Bin Laden's, own words. In tactical recommendations.
He says, then the fighters realize that the gang in the
White House could not see things clearly and That their leader
that idiot. They obey was claiming that we
envied their lifestyle when the truth which this Pharaoh would
like to hide is that we are attacking them because of their
Injustice, toward the Muslim world, and especially Palestine,
and Iraq, as well as their occupation of the land of the
two, sanctuaries clear as day. The reason that we are hated by
strangers on the other side of the planet is as a causal result
of the actions. Our government has taken in Bin
Laden's message to the American people.
He says, Peace. Be with those who follow the
righteous path American people, my speech to you is about the
very best way to avoid a repeat of the performance in Manhattan
as well as the causes and consequences of War by way of
introduction. Let me say that security is an
indispensable pillar of human life and that free men do not
forfeit their security, contrary to bushes claim that we hate
Freedom. If that were true lent then let
him explain to us. Why we Not attack Sweden.
For example. The reason we are hated by the
Muslim world is because of the actions of our government turns
out the same reasons. I hate Washington DC for
coercively, interfering in my life, as do Muslims across the
world in Bin Laden. Second letter.
Why are we fighting you? He says, we seek Allah's help.
We form our reply based on two. Questions.
Directed at the Americans. Why are we fighting an opposing?
You too? What are we calling on you to do
and what do we want from you? As for the first question, why
are we fighting an opposing you? The answer is very simple
because you attacked us and continue to attack us.
You attack Us in Palestine Palestine, which has sunk under
military occupation for more than 80 years.
The British handed over Palestine with your help and
your support to the Jews who have occupied it for more than
50 years. He later says, you have starved
millions of Iraq, millions of Muslims in Iraq, where children
die every day more than 1.5 million.
Iraqi children have As a result of your sanctions, it has
nothing to do with freedom. I think they could probably care
less whether or not we have a regulatory state that they do
care. If we have bases in the Middle
East, you can hear the left. Crying.
Oh Putin interfered in our sacred democracy by having a
couple ads on Facebook, but if you stationed troops and another
country, well, just as the Democrats are mad about alleged
Putin interference. The Muslims are mad at American
interference. Here's the empirical data
collected by Robert Pape and James K Feldman.
This is the first complete data set of all suicide terrorist
attacks around the planet between 1980 and 2000.
Nine. Number one on the list was not a
Muslim organization. It was the Tamil Tigers.
A secular Hindu group carried out more attacks than Hamas or
Palestinian Islamic Jihad pij, combined during this period.
Nearly Emerge from communities resisting foreign occupation.
The research goes on to quote, three of the alleged Saudi
hijackers on 9/11. First one says, what is
happening in Muslim countries today?
Blatant occupation about which there is no doubt.
There is no Duty more obligatory after Faith to repel him.
Second quote, the occupation and deterioration of the land of the
to sanctuaries is a plot by the Jews and nazarenes foremost
among them America May. Allah destroy it, which has been
among the chief causes of every Misfortune surrendered by Islam.
And to the Muslims dust repelling, the Americans
occupying, the land of the two. Holy sanctuaries is the most
obligatory of obligations. Finally and I say to America, if
it wants its armies and people to be safe than it must withdraw
all of its troops from foreign lands and depart from all
countries. If not, let it await the men,
prepare its coffins and dig Graves for its citizens.
The authors then go on saying, well, We don't get foreign
terrorist attacks from Iran, which has a population bigger
than Syria, Jordan, and Iraq combined.
It has nothing to do with Islam. It has everything to do with the
government, coercively, interfering in the lives of
others. Finally, what the Neo cons will
say is well, WWII happened there for all future.
Interventions are morally, Justified.
Here's Winston. Churchill on the second world
war. He says, one day, President
Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions.
Ian's about what the war should be called.
I said it once the unnecessary War.
There never was a war more easy to stop than that which has just
wrecked. What was left of the world from
the previous struggle, human tragedy reaches its climax in
the fact that after all, the exertions and sacrifices of
hundreds of millions of people and the victories of the
righteous cause we have still not found peace or security and
that we lie in the grip of even worse.
Perils than those. We have surmounted.
It is my Earnest hope that pondering On the past, may give
guidance in days to come enable a new generation to repair some
of the errors of former years. So what is he talking about
there? What he's saying is that after
60 million dead, as a calls, a result of the second world war
and allying with Joseph Stalin. And the Bolshevik regime by
1945, the Red Army occupied all the great capitals of Central
Europe Vienna Prague Budapest, Berlin. 100 million.
Christians were under the heel of the most barbarous tyranny in
Sorry, the Bolshevik regime war is immoral because it involves
initiating violence against peaceful people and it is
uneconomic and not beneficial to the host country initiating the
wars, because it weakens them more so than they, otherwise
would that is my argument for why foreign intervention is not
morally or economically Justified.
