"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 and activist
"In America, the arms
industry, the oil industry and the major media networks-indeed,
U.S. foreign policy-are all controlled by the same business combines."
Arundhati Roy, author and activist
Articles
"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 modem
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 and activist
"America continues to
remain the enigma it has always been - a curiously insular people
administered by a pathologically meddlesome, promiscuous government."
Arundhati Roy, author and activist
