MISCONCEIVED ILL-CONCEIVED ATTACKS
MISCONCEIVED ATTACKS
Those who bombed the twin towers in New York , New York, on September 11, 2001, seriously misconceived the true nature of American society, as essentially corporate infrastructure based.
The true essence of our American society is in the unusual idea of personal freedom, justice, equality, for "all." This was written about in the "Declaration of Independence," in "Common Sense" and in the "Crisis," all written by revolutionary founding father, Thomas Paine, of England who also wrote the French "Declaration of Rights" triggering the French and Haiti Revolutions.
Who "all" is or who all was weighed heavily, however, on early 'white' Americans, who were prospering tremendously on the free labor of millions of Africans. This spiritual, this philosophical aspiration implied in the word "all", is what caused "white" Americans, to become the exclusive persona of the "all" defined by law, custom, commerce. "White" is more of a philosophical persona than a biological reference to people in American nomenclature. It's colonially contrived for political expediency, profits, convenience.
The extension of the concept of "all" to slavery is what caused Americans to fight the British in 1776-1783, after the 1772 "Somerset Case" and in 1812-1814. The "all" definition later caused the white Americans to fight among themselves, until decisively aided by the Africans in the Civil War, 1861-1865, a/k/a the "Freedom War", a fight which continued through Civil Rights Wars, 1930's -1970, when blacks became "all."
So getting back to bombing twin towers in New York, the terrorists missed the target, just as did the British when they burned down the Executive Mansion in the War of 1812, as did the Japanese in Pearl Harbor in December 7, 1941, "a day that will live in infamy." The point by now may be apparent . America, the United States of America, is an idea. It will take a superior idea to defeat its nascent idealism, one that now is lacking in Islam, as evidenced by battles between Shia and Sunni , Iran and Saudi Arabia; and elsewhere including the late Osama bin-Ladin, alleged financier of the misconceived twin towers attack.
