It is power-elite propaganda to claim, as Obama does, that the Rev. Terry “Jim” Jones burning Korans will lead to terrorist acts or recruitment for the ideological tendency called al-Qaeda. American conduct in America is not the issue. As Ron Paul points out, it is US foreign policy that causes blowback. “They” don’t hate “us” because we are good or Christian or nuts. They hate the US corporate state’s occupation of their lands, its seizure of their oil, its murderous wars.
