Features: The major issues in politics and economics are the critical conditions that affect the United States and most countries in the world. Yet these issues are often not allowed to be discussed by the public. No one in the media dares to comment on them: how the monopoly power of American companies has caused so much injustice and unfairness to the working class in the U.S.; how the wealth of a few has led to the poverty of many. No one conducts a critical review of the tax system. The War on Terror Trap offers a sharp and powerful analysis of the deep-rooted causes and implications of the "9/11" events. Why did such attacks occur? To whom should they be attributed? Who exploited the crisis? Who suffered as a result? Why do they hate the U.S.? The author answers these questions. He explores today's religious fervor, the hidden history of Afghanistan, and the U.S.-led globalization process. This globalization has plunged most parts of the world into poverty, fueling their anger. The author provides a profound and insightful critique of the political, economic, and religious forces behind the "9/11" attacks, explaining from a historical perspective how future terrorism can be prevented and democracy saved. Additionally, the author has written a special preface for the Chinese edition titled "Why the War on Iraq?"
