The Western Liberal Democracies pride themselves on their peaceful, civilized societies.
But it must be remembered that these governments are backed up by huge modern armies.
This is the Domination System.
And peace is maintained so long as these Democracies are not challenged.
But the unfortunate side-effects of the Domination System are oppression and exploitation.
And the capitalist corporations that inhabit these Democracies exploit and abuse weaker countries.
This is the root of 9/11.
And the response of the self-professed Christian President was to retaliate with all the force of the Dominant Power.
When it came to the point it was not the Christian principle of "turning the other cheek" that prevailed but the brutal retaliation of domination.
So we can have no illusions about the dominance of the West.
It is the imposition of White Privilege.
And it is the continuation of the Domination System.
