Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century
Breaking The Silence: Truth And Lies In The War On Terror [2003]
“William Kristol, American neo-conservative and editor of The Weekly Standard, tells Pilger: "The problem with America is not that we go... marauding around the world imposing ourselves, [it] is that we’ve been too slow to get involved in conflicts." When informed that the United States has been involved in 72 separate interventions in foreign countries since World War Two, Kristol dismisses this figure as "ludicrous" as the full list of countries where the US has, indirectly or directly, overthrown governments, manipulated elections and attacked popular movements since 1945…”
"If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and impoverished, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. Then I would announce, in all sincerity, to every corner of the world, that America's global interventions have come to an end, and inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the USA but henceforth—oddly enough—a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. There would be more than enough money. One year's military budget of $330 billion is equal to more than $18,000 an hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born.
That's what I'd do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I'd be assassinated. "
