Lev Navrozov emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972 He settled in New York City where he quickly learned that there was no market for his eloquent and powerful English language attacks on the Soviet Union. To this day, he writes without fear or favor or the conventions of polite society. He chaired the "Alternative to the New York Times Committee" in 1980, challenged the editors of the New York Times to a debate (which they declined) and became a columnist for the New York City Tribune. His columns are today read in both English and Russian.

About 25 centuries ago an Athenian deplored and ridiculed the mental habit of dividing crimes into private small-scale affairs to be condemned Ñ such as terrorist acts, for instance Ñ and a tyrant's vast-scale crimes to be glorified Ñ such as a tyrant's wars, for example.

In Dostoyevsky's ÒCrime and Punishment,Ó a murderer meditates that if he had killed not two human beings, but used artillery, Napoleon-style, to kill two MILLION human beings, he would have been able to put an imperial crown on his head and be glorified as the greatest man who had ever lived.

To give a 21st-century example. Last month we heard on cable TV Richard Clarke's testimony about how the U.S. government ignored his advice and thus failed to prevent the ÒrammingÓ by nineteen Moslems of two buildings in the United States, which resulted in three thousand deaths. But no one in the democratic West has spent ten seconds of television time to advise how to prevent a nano attack of the tyrants of China (the population: 1.3 billion) on the West, which may result in three billion deaths.

Quite the contrary. Last month, French president Jacques Chirac and the dictators of China staged joint naval exercises near Taiwan to terrorize the voters on the eve of its presidential elections.

In the 19th century, Taiwan was part of the Chinese Empire. Then it belonged to Japan. As a result of the Cairo agreement of 1943 Taiwan was turned over to the Chinese Nationalist Government. Now the Communist Chinese dictators claim that Taiwan is part of their territory. Why? Are they the Chinese Empire? Or Japan? Or the Chinese Nationalist Government? For them to claim Taiwan is the same as for Soviet Russia would have been to claim Alaska because it had once belonged to the Russian Empire.

It is also obvious that the dictators of China claim Taiwan not because it is so valuable that without it mainland China cannot exist, but because the very existence of an island, inhabited by Chinese, yet living without dictatorship, subverts the dictatorship of mainland China.

Thus Chirac behaved like a terrorist, helping his terrorist Chinese friends to terrorize Taiwan into submission. But all this was merely praiseworthy because of the scale of terrorist intimidation Ñ China's Xinhua news agency noted that the Sino-French intimidation of Taiwan was Òthe largest-scale joint drill held by Chinese and foreign navies.Ó

The prevention of China's nano-annihilation of the West? Why, Chirac helped the dictators of China in their terrorism!

As for the prevention of 9/11, Richard Clarke explained that the U.S. government failed to prevent it by failing to pay adequate attention to his Òwarnings on Al Qaida.Ó Nevertheless, Clarke declared that he had also Òfailed you,Ó that is, the near and dear of those who perished on 9/11 and who were present at the testimony. Needless to say, their embraces followed: what a noble man that Richard Clarke is Ñ the U.S. government ignored his warnings on Al Qaida and thus Òfailed them,Ó and yet he declares that he shares the guilt with the government and apologizes for the failure to prevent 9/11.

His reference to Al Qaida is the most valuable bit of his testimony. He, a Òformer top counter-terrorist chief,Ó does not know that bin Laden and his Al Qaida had nothing to do with 9/11, as bin Laden proved by his video in which he tried to prove the opposite, viz., that he and his Al Qaida Òdid it.Ó See my column of Feb. 4, 2002, ÒWho Is Osama bin Laden, and Does He Have Anything to Do With the Sept. 11 Attack?Ó Clarke demonstrates his ignorance of what had really happened. The world of Islamic terrorism consists of thousands of groups. The Òexperts,Ó like Clarke, cannot remember their Arabic names. So they have memorized the words ÒOsama bin LadenÓ and ÒAl QaidaÓ and parrot them whenever a terrorist attack occurs.

Actually, there is a socio-psychological abyss between nonsuicidal and suicidal terrorism. A nonsuicidal terrorist tries to escape, just as does a common criminal. However, even if 9/11 had been perpetrated by nonsuicidal terrorists, Clarke's assumption that 9/11 was preventable is based on nothing except his hindsight AFTER 9/11 happened. Thousands of common murders occur in the United States every year. Why do THEY fail to be prevented?

It is easy to explain how a crime can be prevented AFTER the crime, with the benefit of hindsight. A dozen Moslems studied piloting in U.S. flying schools, and one of them studied only navigation in the air, but not the landing. Aha! They want to use U.S. airliners for ÒrammingÓ!

But there is not a scrap of paper that would indicate that Clarke had guessed BEFORE 9/11 that airliners would be used for Òramming.Ó My Webster's Dictionary of 2001 does not contain even the word Òto ramÓ in this sense. The ÒrammingÓ of 9/11 in 2001 was the first case in the history of the United States of ÒrammingÓ airliners into buildings.

How on earth could Clarke or any other such ÒexpertÓ guess that a dozen Moslems studied piloting in order to ÒramÓ U.S. airliners into U.S. buildings?

Out of the nineteen terrorists of 9/11, fifteen came from Saudi Arabia and none from any unfriendly country like Afghanistan, Iran, or Iraq. Well, a dozen Moslems from friendly Islamic countries, and above all Saudi Arabia, wanted to be able to navigate airliners. What was suspicious about that BEFORE 9/11? Were they wearing badges or insignia proclaiming that they were Al Qaida? Was the FBI to arrest them on Clarke's advice and to deprive of sleep (or water) until they ÒconfessedÓ that they were Al Qaidas Ñ whatever that means Ñ and they were going to ram U.S. airliners into U.S. buildings.

Suicidal terrorism is less preventable than its nonsuicidal counterpart. A nonsuicidal terrorist thinks of escaping. A suicidal Islamic terrorist has sentenced himself to death, that is, to the eternal deflowering of beautiful virgins in the Islamic paradise. On our pathetic earth, he fears nothing and nobody Ñ he does and dies Ñ to live (as he hopes) in an eternal sexual orgy.

A certain percentage of the populace of any country has a genetic death-wish or suicidal urge. In the Islamic world, it may be sublimated into a heroic religious death, that is, an eternal sexual orgy. Note that since the Islamic rich have up to four wives, the Islamic poor are often sexually starved.

How could such seekers of death, that is, of an eternal sexual orgy, be prevented from being born, growing up, and launching their suicidal attacks on Americans and U.S. property within or outside the United States? Before, there had been no nineteen Moslems with a genetic suicidal urge, sublimated into the urge for an eternal sexual orgy after death. Then they were born, grew up, and found one another as Islamic students at a Hamburg technological college. No other such nineteen Moslems have been created by nature and nurture. If and when they have, they will devise an entirely new suicidal attack scenario. Just as bank robbers devise ever new ways of robbing banks, the latest being the Òremote copyingÓ of the cards as the bank clients push them into the ATM slots. In this way it became possible to rob banks not by breaking into its safes, but electronically. The contest between crime and crime prevention never ends. All that can be said is that ÒexpertsÓ like Clarke, capable only of ignorant and silly twaddle for hours or dozens of hours on end, increase the rate of crime (including terrorism) and decrease the rate of crime prevention. The rates of common crime in he United States, such as murder, are some of the highest in the world. Why does not Richard Clarke explain how to improve common crime prevention?

But tragic as a war of nineteen suicidal Moslems on two U.S. buildings was, the largest dictatorship in world history, post-1949 China, with its 1.3 billion inhabitants, may be able to nano-annihilate the West, and the fact that Clarke and thousands of other members of the Western political establishment never mention it, whereas Chirac decided in March to help the dictators of China to terrorize Taiwan, makes the nano-annihilation or unconditional surrender of the West a foregone conclusion unless there occurs a pubic opinion turn for Western survival.
