THE US WAR GIVEN NEW
NAMES
When the hawks of war in the United States decided to launch a crusade against terrorism, the war had a name: Osama Bin Laden, the latest Satan who was quickly blamed for the September 11th tragedy. After the deluge of bombs rained down on Afghanistan supposedly aimed at capturing, dead or alive, the fundamentalist, CIA-trained Saudi Arabian, the villain's whereabouts are still unknown. But now the war has other names. "The defeat of Al Qaida is the first step of a long war. The war has begun in Afghanistan, but it won't end in Afghanistan," warned Pentagon official, Paul Wolfowitz. Head of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Richard Myers, said on Wednesday in Brussels that Washington does not need a green light from the United Nations to launch attacks against "terrorist" targets. At the end of the semester meeting of the NATO Council, Myers let drop that Somalia could be the next victim of what he called, "the struggle against terrorism," though he noted that the aggression may not be precisely military. "There exist other camps like politics, economics, intelligence and justice, in which a series of measures can be taken," argued Myers. He clarified that if Somalia is a potential objective, there are also other countries that the United States considers to have lent support to or hosted supposed terrorists. A few hours earlier, in the same NATO meeting, US Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, referred to Yemen and Sudan as States which give refuge to members of Al Qaida, the US's enemy number one. The British newspaper, "The Independent" revealed that Washington is preparing to bomb Somalia from bases in Kenya, despite lacking "convincing proof" of the presence of members of Al Qaida. How many more innocent lives are still to be demanded by the Minotaur of vengeance? (c) 2001 Radio Habana Cuba, NY Transfer News.
