Axis of Evil, Stupid, and Dishonest

• Views: 1,552

The “Nonaligned Movement,” a relic of the Cold War given new life by the recent alliances between radical Marxists and radical Islamists, and given lots of coverage by a media eager to publicize anti-American views, wants to “redefine terrorism.”

And you know where that’s going.

HAVANA - Iran, Syria, North Korea and more than 100 other nations are pushing to broaden the world’s definition of “terrorism” to include the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

Converging on Fidel Castro’s communist Cuba for a summit this week, members of the Nonaligned Movement complain of a double standard: powerful nations like the United States and Israel decide for the world who the terrorists are, but face no punishment for their own acts of aggression. A draft of the group’s joint declaration condemns “terrorism in all its forms,” especially violence that targets civilians.

Terrorism should not be associated with any religion or nationality, says the draft. It singles out a favored phrase of President Bush in declaring that member countries “totally reject the use of the term ‘axis of evil’ by a certain state to target other states under the pretext of combating terrorism.”

A Cuban official said sarcastically on Tuesday that the U.S. could one day accuse the entire Nonaligned Movement of supporting terrorism.

If the shoe fits…

Meanwhile, Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez must have seen Loose Change: Theory that U.S. orchestrated Sept. 11 attacks ‘not absurd’: Venezuela.

“The hypothesis is not absurd … that those towers could have been dynamited,” Chavez said in a speech to supporters. “A building never collapses like that, unless it’s with an implosion.”

“The hypothesis that is gaining strength … is that it was the same U.S. imperial power that planned and carried out this terrible terrorist attack or act against its own people and against citizens of all over the world,” Chavez said.

“Why? To justify the aggressions that immediately were unleashed on Afghanistan, on Iraq.”

Chavez has said the U.S. launched those wars to ensure its political and economic power.

The U.S. government says al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden masterminded the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

“The US government says?” Is the media now promoting the view that it might not be true?
