.:Out of Chaos:.

reading the sunday paper, i read the comics first, then Parade and USA Weekly for thr trite stuff about actors and actreses for the levity of it, then I typically go through and toss out sports, adds, real estate, and read through the perspective section and business section. This time I shifted my focus.
.
I read the section on Style and section on ARTS becuase I have been reading Barry Lane's book about writing and I was / am wondering 'what is selling' well.... I found a book review by John Freeman of a book by David Rose. "Guantanamo, America's War on Human Rights' by New Press.
.
The last paragraph gets my attention....
.
"Drawing on dozens of interviews with guards, released prisoners and high-ranking officials, Rose argues that this legal purgatory to which America consigns enemy combatants has—much like the war in Iraq—actually increased the likelihood of terrorism. Why? Because the spectacle of Americans trampling on the rights of humiliated Muslims has given al Qaeda yet another powerful recruiting tool. In fact, it’s so potent a symbol that many of the Western hostages in Iraq whose decapitations have been videotaped were made to wear orange jumpsuits—just like the prisoners at Guantánamo."

Full book review I found it online at the Missoula Independent:

I also found this site that is dedicated to expose the goings on at Guantanamo:

What gets me is that the goverment that is supposed to represent the people of the united states of america, stir the masses with the tonic that 'they' do what they are doing to 'fight terrorisim' and I dissagree. It seems obvious to me that what is really going on is that the Bush organization and powers that be are creating the petri dish ripe to grow more terrorists.
.
To really fight terrorisim, the focus needs to be educate people how to self improve the standard of living, educate people and raise the poverty level so that suffering is reduced. All of humanity is created equal, the environment of which people mature closes some doors and opens others... if we the people want to proclaim democracy... which is about freedom of choice and personal voice in politics that govern, then we need to open doors that people can have choices of positive nature not negative nature.
.
Until then, bombs and big sticks do nothing but build a devide from where the task of world peace and cooperation of humanity will be harder to achieve.
