Here are a few quotes for all who oppose this mess we have found ourselves in.

"This is not a war on terror. It's a fight against America's enemies"

Robert Fisk, The Independent


“Far from being the terrorists of the world, the Islamic peoples have been its victims - that is, the victims of American fundamentalism, whose power, in all its forms, military, strategic and economic, is the greatest source of terrorism on earth.”

John Pilger, The Irish Times



“The crime was never “an assault on democracy”. If Western democracy cannot withstand a suicide bomb attack on an office block, it is pathetic indeed. The crime was directed not against democracy but against Western policies in the Middle East.”

Simon Jenkins, The Times



“If they turn on the radars we're going to blow up their goddamn SAMs (surface-to-air missiles). They know we own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk. And that's what's great about America right now. It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot of oil out there we need.”

US Brig. General William Looney, Washington Post



“The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.”

Ramsey Clark, Former U.S. Attorney General



“Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world — particularly the Third World — since the late 1940s, a fact ignored by the elite-owned media.”

Ralph McGehee, Former CIA analyst



“I will never apologize for the United States of America — I don't care what the facts are.”

US President George Bush



“The U.S.A. has supplied arms, security equipment and training to governments and armed groups that have committed torture, political killings and other human rights abuses in countries around the world.”

Amnesty International



“Playing the world’s policeman is not the answer to that catastrophe in New York. Playing the world’s policeman is what led to it.”

Matthew Parris, The Times



CBS Reporter Lesley Stahl (speaking of post-war sanctions against Iraq):

“We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And - and you know, is the price worth it?”

Madeleine Albright (at that time, US Ambassador to the UN):

“I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price is worth it.”



“We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction.... We should cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”

George Keenan, head of U.S. State Department Policy Planning Staff, 1948



“I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes. The moral effect should be good...and it would spread a lively terror.... “

Winston Churchill commenting on the British use of poison gas against the Iraqis after World War I



“It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.” Beaverton, Ore., Sep. 25, 2000

“I will have a foreign-handed foreign policy.” Redwood, California, Sep. 27, 2000
US President George W. Bush



“The term “terrorism” must be qualified. What’s being referred to by Washington is not actually terrorism per se, but rather terrorism directed at ‘us.’”

Scott Laderman, The Minnesota Daily



“With all the condolence that can be offered, it is incongruent to think that the world's leading exporter of the tools of death and destruction would not someday be visited with an evil in return.”

Derrick Jackson, The Boston Globe



“For the first time in the modern world, a sense of Islam as a whole, as a nation or polity, has marched back upon the stage."

The Economist



"How can you call a nation civilised that massacred the indigenous red Indians and brought in Africans as slaves to build it?"

Steve Erickson, Herald Tribune
