art--there is nothing theoretical about my position here--what i base my objections on are things that have happened and happen in my immediate life-world....the problem comes down to the vagueness still operative in the bushworld definition of "enemy"---a problem you can see all over the place even in the context of posts to this board--and this despite what bush had tried (ineffectually) to do immediately after 911 when his own logic appeared to legitimate anti-muslim violence around the country--this in tandem with the problems mentioned above.
maybe in your world this is theoretical--and maybe that is itself a source of disgreement here--i cant be sure. maybe there is a correlation between support for this legal and political situation and functioning in a kind of monoculture--again, i dont know--but for me this is **not** a theoretical question.
