The Terrorism Trap by Michael Parenti
September 11 and the Politics of Fear
Argues that the official ‘‘war on terror’’ narrative is used to justify imperial interventions, militarization, and domestic repression by obscuring how Western states have supported, trained, and armed violent groups for geopolitical aims; exposes double standards that label similar acts differently depending on the actor, critiques media propaganda and political opportunism that stoke public fear, and urges attention to underlying causes of violence—foreign domination, economic injustice, and covert state violence—rather than relying on fear-driven policies that erode civil liberties and democratic accountability.
