Myth and denial in the war on terrorism ... excerpt by William Blum 

As I�ve written elsewhere: If I were the president, I could stop terrorist
attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first
apologize�very publicly and very sincerely�to all the widows and orphans, the
impoverished and the tortured, and all the many millions of other victims of
American imperialism.

Then I would announce that America�s global military interventions have come to
an end.
I would then inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the union but
.. a foreign country.

Then I would reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to
pay reparations to the victims, and repair the damage from the many American
bombings, invasions, and sanctions. There would be enough money. One year of our
military budget is equal to more than $20,000 per hour for every hour since
Jesus Christ was born. That�s one year. That�s what I�d do on my first three
days in the White House.
On the fourth day, I�d probably be assassinated. #
