....
We can't expect this terrorist training camp to reform itself: after all,
it refuses even to acknowledge that it has a past, let alone to learn from
it. So, given that the evidence linking the school to continuing atrocities
in Latin America is rather stronger than the evidence linking the al-Qaida
training camps to the attack on New York, what should we do about the
"evil-doers" in Fort Benning, Georgia?
Well, we could urge our governments to apply full diplomatic pressure, and
to seek the extradition of the school's commanders for trial on charges of
complicity in crimes against humanity. Alternatively, we could demand that
our governments attack the United States, bombing its military
installations, cities and airports in the hope of overthrowing its
unelected government and replacing it with a new administration overseen by
the UN. In case this proposal proves unpopular with the American people, we
could win their hearts and minds by dropping naan bread and dried curry in
plastic bags stamped with the Afghan flag.
You object that this prescription is ridiculous, and I agree. But try as I
might, I cannot see the moral difference between this course of action and
the war now being waged in Afghanistan.
