During 15 or 16 years, the entire nation was convulsed by armed terrorist attacks, 70,000 people died, peasant women were raped and it stuck in the popular imagination that the left had something to do with it.

Terrorist attacks should be combated,

There's also his weird family.

They would kick in doors, kick the suspects, drag them out, beat them up and take them to the base. At the base, they would be interrogated, tortured, in many cases murdered and made to disappear.

I suppose I should have my say about the terrorist attacks (9/11). I don't suppose it'll be a popular point of view, but they need to be put into some sort of perspective. They were a horrible tragedy, but also what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during WW2 - and Germany did the same thing to England. But most Americans don't think about that. They think everything starts and finishes with America.

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 briefly disrupted celebrations of a world globalised by capital and consumption.
