if you want to spread terror use the word terrorist repeatedly

Salut,

ok, ca va pas dans feu de camp, mais ni dans une autre catégorie. Le texte d'Allan Savory, écrit après le 11 septembre 2001.

Il est en anglais, parle du contexte américain, mais je pense qu'il a sa place ici, spécialement après les derniers evenements...

Quelques extraits intéressants:

A mistake made by most governments is to call their opponents ‘terrorists’.  The constant use of the word ‘terrorist’ while televising dramatically the damage and suffering makes their action several million times more damaging. If you want to spread terror use the word terrorist repeatedly, associated with terrifying pictures, and low and behold you do spread terror.   

However, this should be done without setting our people up for war and retaliation. There is a need, while unity and determination still hold, to initiate the moves to bring about a civilian strategy to win the peace we all seek.  If we rely solely on our military strength in retaliating, far from ending the war “in a place and time of our choosing,” we will bring about counter retaliation at some time. This has been the most massive guerrilla attack ever staged, but it will pale into insignificance with future nuclear or biological attacks unless our leaders act with understanding and wisdom as well as determination

Probably the President could not put together a more competent team if we were at war.  However, I would wager a bet that this same team will be ill-suited to forming a strategy to win the peace.
