Contrary to the simplistic and propagandist words of Mister BUSH, the struggle he plans to lead is not the battle of the Good against Evil.

The true emissaries of peace as President J.F. KENNEDY and especially Martin LUTHER KING were not killed by religious fanatical terrorists. They were muredered by the highest officials of american government. By those who pretend today to be the incarnation of Good. We should not forget it…

Mister Bush probably also forgets that the man he points out as the most dangerous terrorist of the planet is partly a creation of the leaders of the United States of America who used him a few years ago in other just as sordid wars. But at this time, these crimes were profitable for the interests of american policy.

I certainly do not intend to try and minimize the horrendous acts that were perpetrated on September 11 in the USA. However, I wish to draw your attention on the fact that horror is not only on the side of the terrorists, as we are influenced to believe.

The horror is also to impose an embargo on a whole country, such as Irak, depriving people from the first necessity products they need, and from several years, sentencing to death thousands of innocent children, and condemning others to disability. And all this pretending to weaken a dictatorship of which the entire Iraqui people is already victim.

The horror and the height of cynism is also to refuse to make radical or at least minimum decisions to reduce pollution when you are the most polluting country of the planet, and by this way jeopardize the future generations. And all this uniquely because of a mercantile logics that prevail over any other consideration.

The horror is also to see that one of the major health problems today in the United States is obesity, while millions of people continue to starve today elsewhere in the world. And meantime, the poorest countries still grow poorer and the aid funds from the rich countries continue to decrease…

As far as I am concerned, I can see no fundamental difference between a terrorist such as Mister BEN LADEN and a leader who pretends to be "honorable" such as Mister BUSH. The former has joined the Maquis and uses the weapon of terrorism, the latter is almighty and legitimate, and uses the Constitution when it suits him, often to commit more important crimes.

The former is a religious fanatic, the latter reveals himself as a fundamentalist at the service of profit, of money. We denounce with just cause the religious fundamentalists, but it is time to also realize that we are governed by mercantile ultra fundamentalists whose main goal is the maximum profit, no matter what it takes to gain it.
Through these two men, Mister BUSH and Mister BEN LADEN, I can see the two sides of a same face, the face of horror, cynicism, fundamentalism, hatred… actually of ignorance.

No serious solution will ever come to light as long as hypocrisy of the leaders rule this world. They will continue to engender selfishness, violence and ambition in their own image and they can only lose control of the situations they have created.

No, the crusade Mister BUSH is going to lead is certainly not the war between Good and Evil. It is simply and sadly a fratricidal battle between two faces of Evil that are both abject and which outcome brings no reassuring prospect.
