Pat Robertson vs. Bin Laden (Discussion / Tartisma)

This is the latest news from CNN that “Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the United States to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas”.

This is unbelievable, but expected. If US invade Iraq without any reason and than Bush says that Saddam was the very bad man. What do you expect next? Now Chavez is the bad man to kill. This did not happen in one night. It is the mind set of Bush administration and now this mind set is going public with the conservatives like Robertson. Let’s check some timeline events together, Bush invades Iraq which had the weakest army in the world and Patriotic Act passes, and any terrorist suspect gets no rights whatsoever. After that Bush’s bodies from his army creates Abu Garib incident. Torture is acceptable because they were Muslim terrorists. Same primitive feeling, they are not like us!

After seeing all these, conservative minds get the feeling that if they are against us just kill them and invade their country somehow even assassination by state is acceptable. Is this idea familiar to you? It is to me, I am hearing Bin-Ladin broadcast from Al-Jazeera. Bin-Ladin is the terrorist, there is no doubt about it and must be punished as soon as possible. That’s why nobody is blaming Bush for Afghan move ever. Now we have another terrorist in the USA and he is Pat Robertson and we will see what American public do with this terrorist. It is a real test for the American Justice!



CNN’in verdigi habere gore, Muhafazakar Hiristiyan yayinci Pat Peterson, Venezualla Baskaninin komunizmi ve islami Amerika’ya ihrac ettigi icin Amerika Birlesik Devletleri tarafindan suikast sonucu oldurulmesini istemis.

Bu inanilmaz ama beklenen bir gelisme. Amerika yonetimi sebepsiz yere Irak’I isgal ettikden sonra Bush gerekce olarak Saddam’in cok kotu bir diktator oldugunu soylemisti. Bundan sonra neyi beklersiniz. Tabiki Chavez oldurulmesi gereken bir sonraki kotu adam. Fakat butun bu degisim bir gecede olmadi. Bush’un mentalitesi yavas yavas Peterson gibi muhafazakar kitlelere ulasmaya basladi. Bazi olaylari hatirlamakta buyuk fayda var. Dunyanin en zayif ordusuna sahip Irak isgal edildikten sonra, Amerika’da supheli terroristlere hic bir hak ve ozgurluk tanimayan Patriotic Act yasallasti. Bundan ceserat alan Bush’un askerleri Irak’da Abu Garih olayini yarattilar. Iskence, musluman teroristlere yapildigi surece kabul edilebilir oldu. Yine ayni ilkel duygu sahnede, onlar bizden degil.

Butun bu olaylari goren muhafazakarlar, Amerikan cikarlarina karsi cikanlarin ulkesinin isgal edilmesini ve hatta Amerikan hukumeti tarafindan duzenlenen suikastlarla oldurulmesinin kabul edilebilir oldugunu dusunmeye basladilar. Bu fakir size hic tanidik geliyor mu? Bana geliyor, kendimi El-Jazeera’da Bin-Ladin’I dinliyor gibi hissediyorum. Bin-Ladin’in terrorist oldugu bir gercek ve hemen yakalanarak adalete teslim edilmesi lazim. Bu yuzden kimse Afganistan’in isgaline fazla bir ses cikarmadi. Fakat simdi ortalikta baska bir terrorist var ve oda Pat Peterson. Hep birlikte Amerikan halkinin bu teroriste karsi nasil davranacagini gorecegiz. Bu gercekten Amerikan adeleti icin bir test olacak.
