9/16/01, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright - "The chickens have come home to roost"

One of the Rev. Wright quotes supplied by molbiogirl at the "the new and improved obama thread": sourceMuch has been said in regards to the Rev. Wright and Barack Obama at the about cited topic. I do NOT which to pursue that matter in this topic.While it is still pretty hard to excuse mass murder for any reason, I do agree with the Rev. Wright's statement "The chickens have come home to roost". In general, the U.S. has done considerable economic and military "misadventure" in and to other countries and peoples. Thus, is it any surprise that someone might want to take a shot at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? I don't think so.This would include economic actions that I might go so far as to consider "economic war". My impression is that agencies such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization primarily exist to benefit western corporations to the detriment of foreign countries and peoples.Well, this should cause quite a storm.Cheers,
Moose

I will try to get a response together tomorrow (Saturday 3/22).Moose

I have found that I don't have the time, energy, or enthusiasm to pursue this matter. I'm ducking out.I did discover a bit of interesting reading material: EDITORIAL - Criticism of World Trade Organization, World Bank and International Monetary Fund (The Ecologist, Sept. 2000)There is also an index page for articles from that issue. It contains some articles relevant to the World Trade Organization, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, etc. Maybe I'll actually get back to read some of them myself.Bottom line - I'm declining to pursue the argument further, at least for now. Maybe some will find the above cited sources to be interesting reading.Moose
