Ny bok av James Carroll: "House of War"

Salon har i dag en intervju med den amerikanske författaren och före detta katolske prästen James Carroll. Han har skrivit en bok om Pentagon och dess inflytande i USA. Carroll har ett personligt förhållande till Pentagon, där hans far var general i flygvapnet. Tänkvärt citat ur intervjun med James Carroll:

I think that the American people today have turned against the war in Iraq for the wrong reasons. They've turned against it because we're losing. We should be against this war because it's wrong and unnecessary. If this war had gone the way Rumsfeld and company thought it would go, Americans would have been fine with it. And that's appalling. And of course if it had gone the way they thought it was going to go, we'd be in Iran today. That's the tragic good news here. This war has gone so badly that the American imperial enterprise has been stalled. Thank God for that.
