The great build up
Just saying that it is just another a natural disaster is not always a good way to dismiss no matter how devastating a hurricane, an earthquake or a tsunami that happens to strike somewhere else on this planet. Many arguements has been used to play down the devastating effects of the more recent natural catastrophes that has occured far away and here in the US. Among them were accounts of them that happened in the recent past and that they are what they are mother's nature disturbing effect upon us all or just another part and process of nature correcting itself. Too little has been argued that the these recent tragedies-- and here I am referring to the deadly hurricanes that happened to strike the Southern part of the US, the recent earthquake in Pakistan and the tsunamis that occured in the Far East Asia last December--have in part been caused by humanity impact on the environment whereas left very little any room for the legitimacy of ecological politics at all. To understand the potential devastating and perhaps apocalyptical nature of these natural causes one has to try to look at it from a stronger political perspective and the better way is to start of with the recent tragedy of the World Trade Center. My arguement for the longest time has been that the World Trade Center attacks is a constant surge and release of energy that has been building up and that radical fundamentalism is no more than a de novo and more likley become an ancestral things that has managed to shake things. My arguement goes as forth. With the increasing use and development of computers mainly in the form information is shaped and distributed the more and greater the the pressure it will have to place on the environment and civilization for the matter sort of like a post-institutional effect whereas modern and post modern instutions must adapt by either being replaced by virtual ones or by de novo ones. The internet itself is pretty interesting because despite what everyone believes the internet itself or the way information and commerce is occuring there is one in which going through a post-institutional effect stronger than the ancient ones it is argueably supplanting. The internet more than anything requires a lot of energy and a massive economy for its being, yet like anything for it to survive or for certain corrections to take place the internet more or less must give out to other forms and that would probably be a world like you see in those science fiction movies such as 'Minory Report.' The World Trade attacks represents not only this shortcoming or depend on how you look at it success of the internet but more or less something else poetical and that is the post-institutional effects of the state and I might add the economy itself. One of the more recognizable forms that in which is marked by the collapse of the state is argued by a noted scholar such that the state looses its monopoly of violence and like you see in the recent warlords much of that violence falls into mafias, warlors and ethnic tribes. Another has to do with the economy and that purportedly is the fact that since the fall of the Soviet Union there is not much to add to the decisive arguement that capitalism has triumped over communism or socialism for the matter. It can be viewed that capitalism and the way things are managed offered certain benefits when it comes to price and scarcity but capitalism like everything everybody has missed out is more than certainly a modern and post-modern failure. This does not rule out an economy whereas there is a sort of exchange of goods and services or in one in which economic output, growth and accountabilty may take place but more so that capitalism cannot escape the haunting effect of post-institutionalism. Much not left in the framework of capitalism these days as the poor lost soul of the Soviet man must rekindle his identity with the stuff that is made and sold for centuries when manking discovered and use commerce but in a dynamically politically shaped world we see these days such as again the rise of the electronice economy and its evil twin the post-modern industrial society required to sustain it. At any rate the balance of a rising middle class that existed that managed to stave off the brunt the early countries endured in the earlier twentieth century does not exist any more. The rise of supertechnology among many other things makes the present army that we have sort of obsolete. It is weird to see these days as a high point to fight for one's country or its creed whereas thanks to the likes of Al Queada and the recent Germany election did much away with that. The idea of fighting for democracy and world peace seems pretty much anachronistic and too cling to it by indoctrinating in public institutions that it has much of a world value seems a bit passe. However back to the World Trade Center, the energy that has been unleashed questions much of what that needs to be done in understanding the shape of war and maintaining any reasonable type of political stability. Much of the world politics that has followed those attacks has pretty much that has been defined by post-instituitional forces such as Al Queda such as the sniper shootings, the Madrid bombing, the London bombing and more recently the Bali bombings. The Hurricanes in Louisiana occured in a red state whereas not to take it wrongly there is just not much to be rebuilt or that a conventional approach seems futile and obsolete. The criticism for the recovery effort has been mired strongly and arguementatively so on the charge of racism,such that the president was very reluctant to do anything about it and the more interesting thing about the this recovery whether one like it or not that such an effort of rebuilding that part of the Deep South amounts more strikingly to a Reconstruction effort at a cost to the tune of $40 billion dollars and the idea of less and minimalist government is becoming more or less an endangered idea. what ever the case maybe we see the president approval rating at an all time low and the controlling party in a dissarray. A budget cut to offset the cost of the rescue effort can have nefarious political consequences. Like the tsunamis given so many people even in a post modern world such a natural disaster had an effect similar to a regional war of some sorts and thus it should be treated as such. It is say that only natural calamities are nothing more than an arena for the groups like Al Queda and the stronger post-institutional effects to take place. It wouldn't be hard to grasp the idea that if the US have problems from terrorism that it would unlike the September 11, 2001 originated from the Northern part but of a constant migration from that part of the country.
