The author, Dr. Amaal Tokars takes you on a journey before 9-11 and after, demonstrating why the average citizen should have been prepared for war and how the notion of our freedom has been relegated to a diminished voice. Dr. Tokars stresses that without true understanding and knowledge of other cultures and current events, we remain static and forego any possibility of the freedoms that our forefathers fought so intensely for. She carefully documents why a civilized human society cannot afford to think in tribal terms and how that type of thinking will only lead to mistrust and, in due course, to completely unjustifiable disasters such as what tragically happened on 9-11. A must read for every US citizen!

What is being said about America & Iraq: Seduced by Fear:

I remember the run up to the Iraq war; I was in Cambodia and our satellite feed had only one station from the United States, with other news channels from Singapore, China and the BBC from England. The US channel was completely different from the others; it was relentless in presenting the kind of textual imagery that Dr. Tokars analyzes in this book. Textual imagery can be powerful persuasion. Dr. Tokars walks us through the themes – Iraq as barbarian and warlike, as linked to 9-11, as armed with weapons of mass destruction, as terrorists, as people in need of liberation and democratization – themes that were repeated and repeated until there was an air of inevitability.. ... Dr. Tokars challenges us her readers to be organic citizens, to commit ourselves to decipher and challenge textual messages, to think, question, act, and participate. Dr. Tokars gives us an intriguing analysis and a challenge to live our lives as better citizens of the world.
