The World Trade Centre Terrorist Attack – Mad Chaos: September 13, 2001

Who Is Osama Bin Laden

Our Australian John Howard could have actually been the one that triggered this whole tumble spin of another looming war.  When he denied sunken and assailing refugees from the Tampa, some which were from Islamic soil, it would have sparked a frictional grind with Bin Laden.  

The Muslim extremists may have already been planning the double-pronged attack on the World Trade Centre but the early salty trigger would have been the utter contempt of the Australian Government to even accept people like him into the western culture.

Bin Laden to me is like the earthly plane embodiment of an Antichrist.  He is Muslim.  The Muslim faith, in some logical forms, completely contradicts more contemporary religions, such as Catholics, Orthodox, etc., which seem to be more accepted within the western civilization.  

Terrorist Attack On The World Trade Centre

Some days ago, with a worldwide conflict imminent, there wasn’t much insight to reflect on but instinctively (as my evident craving for analysis functions), my curiosity had me diving for a world map in the encyclopedic strategic evaluations.

The West against the Middle East seems to be how the alliances are being formed in these forbearing days.  The central focus of course will be on a Bin Laden within Afghanistan, where troops may parachute in to begin the war.  In similar circumstances to the First World War, the ruling province over that country, being the Taliban, will be forced to retaliate.  

Something similar was already observed when their airport was bombed.  You could even draw a parallel in accordance with the way our government’s sovereignty was exploited when boat people (in this perplexing case, the Norwegian Crew on the Tampa) defied our order for them to leave Australian territorial waters.  Our Australian Hard Line (seen with their reasoning to reject the Tampa, and even with their handling of a governmental rescue package for a failing airline) seems to have put the wheels in motion that sped up this recent affliction.

The terrorist attack may have been like (as mentioned by a New Yorker) a gut punch to the United States.  But in perspective, and weighing their pride and faith above the emotional distress Americans would have endured, it would have been like a slash on a worldwide body of skin, where actual trauma is determined by the lacerative locale to where America is personified.  

Bin Laden and his movement were, like thieves of the night, the foreign object that pierced our skin, and now we can only surmise the sort of retaliation that would come of it.

Who Is Saddam Hussein

The inner workings of Saddam Hussein interest me.  At the same time, if he were in more power, he would worry the freedom that billions of people around the world take for granted.  He is a man whose subjects fear him and the uncivil, contemptuous way in which he rules Iraq, a loose cannon whose father carved him out a piece of country remote enough from the rest of the world, shouldered up by a religious family just to keep him out of trouble.  

Saddam, since his first taste of death at a relatively innocent age of nineteen, like an addiction, doesn’t feel happy unless he has murdered at least one person per day.  If we were to believe some of the dour portrayals of Hussein in the media as being part of the bad against good in this world war, then one would think that Bin Laden has taken away his hard-worked limelight.  

While governments come and go in every western country, Saddam sits there in his palace waiting for the day where he can finally finish work on the big guns, being his nuclear weapons in progress in bunkers underneath Iraq.  Hussein seems to show the same model of patience as the machine, standing the constant NATO bombardment and just waiting until he can finish work on his nukes for one swift desensitized blow.  

The constant attention to Iraq over the years has more or less been both necessity and greed.  A constitution and democracy, baring moral necessity to oblige justly, are very feeble weapons against an autonomous power like Saddam Hussein.  We strive for justice.  He strives to rule.  

We tend to think our countries civilized while countries around the Middle East are seen as barbaric.  

Nevertheless, with greed always skewering certain morals for foreign interests (like the price of oil), you would expect our alliance to defy one of the seven sins with our own conglomerate greed.

Western Hands On Middle Eastern Peace

Saddam Hussein and most of the Muslim world would have seen American involvement in peace talks within the Middle East as farce.  Picture this scenario.  Little Israel and baby Palestine were having a small scuffle out on the street.  Suddenly, a stranger called America comes from across the street and tries to break the both of them up.  Because America is bigger, they listen, but in the back of their minds, scoff at this person having the nerve to come between their affairs, like trying to teach reason to people that exercise little.  

A Fictional Third World War

Last words would be about a fictional delineation of what our reality would be like if the alliance was formed for a third world war.  While Bin Laden would be the media abused public enemy number one, Saddam Hussein would be the main threat that our side would be hunting, supposedly as supplementary success.  

The public is largely in the dark about the real workings and mentality of those in the Middle East, but to the impassioned public, it would seem more imperative for righteous justice to come to Bin Laden.  

An allied main priority would be to assassinate Saddam Hussein through war.  Bin Laden would just be a military sideshow, the sealer for public opinion to get the cog of democracy again spinning.  Saddam would be the devil, Bin Laden, the antichrist, and therein will come worldly clash.
