Bernadine Dohrn was right that the US government is the real terrorist

I have written several posts about the SDS leader and Weather Underground bomber Bernadine Dohrn, who told a meeting that she admired Charles Manson for sticking a fork into the heavily-pregnant Sharon Tate's belly, something she considered a revolutionary act.

I am certainly no admirer of hers but rereading this post I see she was quite right when she said in 2010 in an interview:


"The real terrorist is the American government, state terrorism unleashed against the world."


By then Obama, who began his political career with a fund raising meeting in her house, was US President.


He authorised drones to kill people in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia etc without any authority from the UN or Congress.

Hundreds of civilians were killed, perhaps more than 800, one an American citizen.

I don't know how the number of children he killed compares with the number killed by Donald Trump.

Donald Trump does not try to hide his terrorism but rather glories in it.

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump issued a fresh warning to Iran on May 17, saying it had to move quickly towards a peace deal or “there won’t be anything left of them”.

Washington, locked in conflict with Tehran since US and Israeli forces launched major strikes on the Islamic republic beginning Feb 28, has struggled to break an impasse and make any progress towards ending a war that has shaken the Middle East and sent energy prices climbing.

“For Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get moving, fast, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Time is of the essence!”
