Al Jazeerah - Empire - Islam and America

A rather interesting discussion on Al Jazeerah English yesterday discussing Empire and US policy in the context of growing anti-Islmaic trends inside America. Chris Hedges really analyzes the situation well.

On the 9th anniversary of 9/11, the fault lines between the US and the Muslim world seem to have expanded. As America's internal cultural wars begin to affect its foreign policy, what are the options for President Obama? Which is the real US: The one that fights for Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, or the one that considers US Muslims as the enemy within? And have Osama bin Laden's hopes of driving a wedge between the US and the Muslim world become a reality?
