All right. My premise is the US government is not morally Justified either economically or philosophically to coercively interfere in the Affairs of other countries. I want to start by getting to the root cause of why we would want to be in Empire. As Thomas Seoul says the purpose of being an Empire is to be left alone. However, it's not our Empire. We are not being a fighting force, you know, I was expecting. Opposition to interrupt me. I was not expecting, friendly
fire. So if you could mute the, the the the woman, if you could, if you could mute the woman in the bottom-right indefinitely, I would appreciate it. So the reason is well, we have to go to war or else we will get attacked. Our citizens are at risk. I want to well, first row refute, this by quoting Osama Bin Laden's, own words. In tactical recommendations. He says, then the fighters realize that the gang in the White House could not see things clearly and That their leader
that idiot. They obey was claiming that we envied their lifestyle when the truth which this Pharaoh would like to hide is that we are attacking them because of their Injustice, toward the Muslim world, and especially Palestine, and Iraq, as well as their occupation of the land of the two, sanctuaries clear as day. The reason that we are hated by strangers on the other side of the planet is as a causal result
of the actions. Our government has taken in Bin Laden's message to the American people. He says, Peace. Be with those who follow the righteous path American people, my speech to you is about the very best way to avoid a repeat of the performance in Manhattan as well as the causes and consequences of War by way of
introduction. Let me say that security is an indispensable pillar of human life and that free men do not forfeit their security, contrary to bushes claim that we hate Freedom. If that were true lent then let him explain to us. Why we Not attack Sweden. For example. The reason we are hated by the Muslim world is because of the actions of our government turns
out the same reasons. I hate Washington DC for coercively, interfering in my life, as do Muslims across the world in Bin Laden. Second letter. Why are we fighting you? He says, we seek Allah's help. We form our reply based on two. Questions. Directed at the Americans. Why are we fighting an opposing? You too? What are we calling on you to do and what do we want from you? As for the first question, why
are we fighting an opposing you? The answer is very simple because you attacked us and continue to attack us. You attack Us in Palestine Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine with your help and your support to the Jews who have occupied it for more than 50 years. He later says, you have starved millions of Iraq, millions of Muslims in Iraq, where children die every day more than 1.5 million.
Iraqi children have As a result of your sanctions, it has nothing to do with freedom. I think they could probably care less whether or not we have a regulatory state that they do care. If we have bases in the Middle East, you can hear the left. Crying. Oh Putin interfered in our sacred democracy by having a couple ads on Facebook, but if you stationed troops and another country, well, just as the Democrats are mad about alleged Putin interference. The Muslims are mad at American
interference. Here's the empirical data collected by Robert Pape and James K Feldman. This is the first complete data set of all suicide terrorist attacks around the planet between 1980 and 2000. Nine. Number one on the list was not a Muslim organization. It was the Tamil Tigers. A secular Hindu group carried out more attacks than Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad pij, combined during this period. Nearly Emerge from communities resisting foreign occupation.
The research goes on to quote, three of the alleged Saudi hijackers on 9/11. First one says, what is happening in Muslim countries today? Blatant occupation about which there is no doubt. There is no Duty more obligatory after Faith to repel him.
Second quote, the occupation and deterioration of the land of the to sanctuaries is a plot by the Jews and nazarenes foremost among them America May. Allah destroy it, which has been among the chief causes of every Misfortune surrendered by Islam. And to the Muslims dust repelling, the Americans occupying, the land of the two. Holy sanctuaries is the most
obligatory of obligations. Finally and I say to America, if it wants its armies and people to be safe than it must withdraw all of its troops from foreign lands and depart from all countries. If not, let it await the men, prepare its coffins and dig Graves for its citizens. The authors then go on saying, well, We don't get foreign terrorist attacks from Iran, which has a population bigger than Syria, Jordan, and Iraq combined.
It has nothing to do with Islam. It has everything to do with the government, coercively, interfering in the lives of others. Finally, what the Neo cons will say is well, WWII happened there for all future. Interventions are morally, Justified. Here's Winston. Churchill on the second world war. He says, one day, President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions. Ian's about what the war should be called. I said it once the unnecessary War.
There never was a war more easy to stop than that which has just wrecked. What was left of the world from the previous struggle, human tragedy reaches its climax in the fact that after all, the exertions and sacrifices of hundreds of millions of people and the victories of the righteous cause we have still not found peace or security and that we lie in the grip of even worse. Perils than those. We have surmounted.
It is my Earnest hope that pondering On the past, may give guidance in days to come enable a new generation to repair some of the errors of former years. So what is he talking about there? What he's saying is that after 60 million dead, as a calls, a result of the second world war and allying with Joseph Stalin. And the Bolshevik regime by 1945, the Red Army occupied all the great capitals of Central Europe Vienna Prague Budapest, Berlin. 100 million.
Christians were under the heel of the most barbarous tyranny in Sorry, the Bolshevik regime war is immoral because it involves initiating violence against peaceful people and it is uneconomic and not beneficial to the host country initiating the wars, because it weakens them more so than they, otherwise would that is my argument for why foreign intervention is not morally or economically Justified.
