Subject: [proletar] U.S. can't influence Muslims
U.S. can't influence Muslims
By DANIEL SNEIDER, San Jose Mercury News
First published: Tuesday, July 12, 2005
When confronted with acts of seemingly incomprehensible barbarism as took
place in London, it is easy to see the perpetrators as nothing more than
murderous thugs.
There is some truth to that. But for al-Qaida, and its followers, terror is
a tool used for clear political ends.
The aim in London was not to attack the transit system -- it was to
humiliate the British government and the West precisely at the moment of the
gathering of the heads of state of the eight great economic powers in the
world. Similarly, the murderous assault on Madrid trains in March 2004 was
timed two days before the Spanish elections to undercut support for Spain's
participation in the Iraq war.
The larger goal -- as with the murder of the Egyptian Ambassador to Iraq --
is to isolate the United States and compel its withdrawal in defeat from
Iraq. The model is Afghanistan, where the war against Soviet occupation gave
birth to al-Qaida and allied Islamist movements.
Al-Qaida has laid out this political agenda with remarkable bluntness. Last
October, in a video prepared just before the American election, Osama bin
Laden spoke about making Iraq into a new Afghanistan.
"We gained experience in guerrilla warfare and in conducting a war of
attrition in our fight with the iniquitous, great power -- that is, when we
conducted a war of attrition against Russia with jihad fighters for 10
years, until they went bankrupt, with Allah's grace. As a result, they were
forced with withdraw in defeat. ... We are continuing the same policy -- to
make America bleed profusely to the point of bankruptcy."
Al-Qaida honed its strategy as the insurgency in Iraq took hold. A September
2003 al-Qaida planning document found by the Norwegian intelligence service
argued that rather than go after the U.S. directly, it would be more
effective to attack its European allies, forcing their withdrawal from Iraq
and leaving the U.S. with the burden of the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan
and the Arabian Peninsula.
The document, cited by University of Chicago scholar Robert A. Pape, author
of an important recent book on suicide terrorism, explicitly targeted Spain
and its upcoming elections as a propitious moment. The withdrawal of Spanish
forces would in turn put pressure on Britain, the document predicted.
The Madrid attack was spectacularly successful in triggering a Spanish
withdrawal. Afterward, bin Laden issued a statement offering a "truce" with
those European countries that "do not attack Muslim countries."
The London bombings probably encouraged al-Qaida in its belief that they
will succeed in their ultimate aim, Pape wrote, "causing the United States
and its allies to withdraw military forces from the Persian Gulf." The
announcement at the close of the G-8 summit that Italy would begin
withdrawal of its troops in September suggests that is already happening.
Al-Qaida portrays Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan as one common insurgency,
said Graham Fuller, longtime former CIA analyst of this region and Islamic
politics. Through this political terror campaign, "they see a way by which
they can defeat the United States in Iraq," Fuller said. "I hate to say it,
but I think they are succeeding."
They are not only isolating the U.S., but gaining political sympathy in the
Muslim world. "Bin Laden has managed to inspire the belief that 'we are not
helpless, even against the world's sole superpower,' " Fuller observed.
Among Muslims, as evidenced in numerous opinion polls, there is little
outrage over acts such as the London bombings.
"It is this moral and political ambivalence on the part of the Muslim world
that I find most frightening of all," he said. "There is a whole generation
of Muslims who are now socialized to an extraordinary degree of
anti-Americanism."
The Bush administration rightly forged a political response in proclaiming
its support for democracy and political liberty in the Arab and Muslim
world. Unfortunately, by resorting to the sword to impose this
transformation, the United States has undermined what little credibility it
had as a agent of reform. American motives are viewed with cynicism and
suspicion.
The United States cannot be the instrument of political change in the Muslim
world, if that was ever possible. In the political struggle with Islamic
extremism, the best it can do is to assist those in the Muslim world who are
prepared to bring change from within.
