Political roots of American insecurity

[CHIMO]

A few months ago, while speaking of the US war in Iraq, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said: "We're killing a lot, capturing a lot, collecting arms.

"We just don't know yet whether that's the same as winning."

But the American political establishment seems to prefer the comfort of ignorance to the discomfort of bitter truth. Sadly, many ordinary Americans and non-Americans may have to pay the price for this indolence. Martin Luther King said: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

The wisdom of that great American humanist is what we all need to understand today.
