HOME PAGE LETHAL AMERICAN CONFUSION HOW BUSH AND THE PACIFISTS FAILED IN THE WAR ON TERRORISM A nonfiction e-book BY WILLIAM R. TAYLOR For more information, see http://www.AmericanConfusion.com http://www.geocities.com/confusiondoc/military_pacifist_survey.html http://home.comcast.net/~wrbftaylor/index.html http://spaces.msn.com/americanconfusion AIM OF "LETHAL AMERICAN CONFUSION" I want you to become an expert in confusion—a goal that may seem timely, bizarre, insulting, or even funny. Join me in the Global Republic of Confusion. Why? Because In these days of confusion in experts, we must all become experts in confusion. HOW "LETHAL AMERICAN CONFUSION" WILL MAKE YOU AN EXPERT IN CONFUSION By reading this e-book, you will: 1. Start recognizing over twenty common sources of political or personal confusion. Those sources include: Information overload Complexity Lies Propaganda Image manipulation And many others. Those sources affect You Your family President Bush Congress The military Other Americans And people all over the world 2. Learn a method of forecasting that enabled me to predict more of the adverse outcomes of the US attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq than did the Bush administration. 3. Discover how the administration’s antiterrorist reform efforts failed, due to their malignant coping methods against confusion 4. Diagnose confusion among pacifists Who did not adequately recognize post-9/11 suffering in America Who overloaded the Internet with too many alternatives to war with Afghanistan Thereby failing to coordinate their efforts to stop that war. 5. Contribute to a dialog about similarities between the military and pacifists. Send in your answers to a survey, included in Chapter 18 of the book, and also included in these websites: www.AmericanConfusion.com http://www.geocities.com/confusiondoc/military_pacifist_survey.html To take part in the survey, you can be of any age, and live in any country. Members of the military and their families are especially invited. You do not need to hold any particular view about war and peace. You can even be confused. Copy the survey from the e-book, "Lethal American Confusion," or from the websites above into your word processing program. Answer the survey questions and send in the results by email or regular mail. The addresses are on the survey. Send your friends copies of the survey for them to fill out. Take part in the survey until January 2007. We will send results to all who request them, and will seek ways of continuing to explore the common ground between military and pacifist views. Neither the warriors nor the pacifists have all the answers; respectful dialog might lead to new ideas. Disclaimer: This is not a self-help book or website.

Neither the author nor the publisher assumes any responsibility for emotional, psychological, or mental reactions that occur within or between readers. If you are troubled by such feelings, or develop them as you read this website or the book, you need to seek help for your emotional reaction. About the Author: The Author, William R. Taylor, M.D. I spent 40 years practicing child and family psychiatry. We’ve been married for 47 years, and have three kids and six grandchildren. During the Vietnam War, I served for two years in the U.S. on active duty as a psychiatrist in the Navy. I joined a Quaker Meeting (one of the pacifist churches) in the 1970s. After retiring from psychiatry in 2000, I published a book: "American Confusion from Vietnam to Kosovo" (available at Amazon.com.) That book also used the cognitive map forecasting method you will learn in "Lethal American Confusion." I supported the war on Afghanistan, assuming that the criteria for a just war had been met. We now know that those criteria were not met, because the administration's own documents reveal that they had decided to invade before meeting all the requirements for a just war. I did not support the war on Iraq. |
