excerpt:
To top it all off, the Bush administration implemented policies and carried out actions that seem designed to generate more and bigger terrorist actions against Americans and their perceived allies and clients at home and abroad. It has dangerously combined unconditional support for Israel's illegal, racist, and state-terrorist occupation of Palestine with indifference to Israel's massive WMD (including nuclear, chemical and biological) arsenal, the killing and injuring of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians, the mass criminalization, harassment, incarceration, and mistreatment of countless Arabs, the murder of (Taliban) prisoners and the general open humiliation of Arab and Southwest Asian people. These searing, hate-generating actions have been a recruiting bonanza for al Qaeda and other terror networks. They have led to a significant escalation in terrorist activity against the US, its allies and its proxies and they are turning Iraq into precisely the terrorist hotbed it was falsely accused of being before the US invasion. (Herman, "Bush vs. Security"). All of this is perversely consistent with Tafel's notion that the Republicans benefit from the "war" being perceived as unresolved.
