"The American people ought
to know that it is not them, but their government's policies,
that are so hated."
Arundhati Roy, author
Books
"President Bush cruelly
manipulated the grief of the American people - and the sympathy
of the rest of the world - to introduce a "world order"
dreamed up by a clutch of fantasists advising the Secretary of
Defence, Donald Rumsfeld."
Robert Fisk, The Independent newspaper
of Britain
Articles
"America has always viewed
oil as a security consideration, and protected it by any means
it deems necessary. Few of us doubt that the U.S. military presence
in the Persian Gulf has little to do with its concern for human
rights and almost entirely to do with its strategic interest in
oil."
Arundhati Roy, author
"We are committing terrorism
in order to "send a message" to terrorists."
Howard Zinn, The Progressive magazine
"In spite of its overwhelming
might, the United States has proved itself incapable of preserving
its own peace and security. Indeed, it has managed to turn the
love and admiration that peoples around the world once felt for
America as a champion of liberty, democracy, and self-determination
into universal suspicion and mistrust - a transformation that
is the result of Washington's misuse of power and abuse of the
moral foundations upon which it built its civilization."
Carlos Basambrio Iglesias, Ideele
magazine, Lima, Peru, Sept. 13, 2001
" Lacking an interest
in the outside world, Americans seem unaware that elsewhere, in
another part of the world, American weapons destroy homes and
bridges and kill children and other innnocent people on behalf
of Western values."
Ljiljana Smajlovic, NIN magazine,
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Sept. 13, 2001
"I say bomb the hell out
of them. If there's collateral damage, so be it."
Senator Zell Miller (D-Georgia)
"Although in Vietnam napalm
was used irresponsibly on civilians, it is not inherently dangerous
to them... Flamethrowers might even save some terrorists' lives
because they would rather give up than be burned alive."
Scott Shuger in Slate online magazine
"First they came for the
communists, but I was not a communist - so I said nothing.
Then they came for the social democrats, but I was not a social
democrat - so I did nothing.
Then they came for the trade unionists, but I was not a trade
unionist.
And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew - I did little.
Then when they came for me, there was no one left who could stand
up for me."
Martin Niemoller, German anti-Nazi
pastor during World War II
"The International Coalition
Against Terror is largely a cabal of the richest countries in
the world. Between them, they manufacture and sell almost all
of the world's weapons, and they possess the largest stockpile
of weapons of mass destruction-chemical, biological and nuclear.
They have fought the most wars, account for most of the genocide,
subjection, ethnic cleansing and human rights violations in modern
history, and have sponsored, armed and financed untold numbers
of dictators and despots. Between them, they have worshipped,
almost deified, the cult of violence and war. For all its appalling
sins, the Taliban just isn't in the same league."
Arundhati Roy, author
"America continues to
remain the enigma it has always been - a curiously insular people
administered by a pathologically meddlesome, promiscuous government."
Arundhati Roy, author
"Why did
they attack the United States?" Bush says it's because we're
so free and prosperous. Well, Denmark is a lot freer and a lot
more prosperous than we are, so is Sweden, so are a number of
other Western European countries, but they are not being attacked
in this same way."
Michael Parenti

"Our most deadly enemies
are not in caves and compounds abroad but in the corporate boardrooms
and governmental offices where decisions are made that consign
millions to death and misery-not deliberately, but as the collateral
damage of the lust for profit and power."
