Gore Vidal : Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace

March 21st, 2009

I’ve heard the name before – but never really checked out Gore Vidal. Definitely an outspoken Republican I can respect. Not that I don’t respect the rest of you guys…but try doing things without religion, guns, and old white men for once. <3.

Here’s an excerpt from an interview in 2002;

Should the U.S. just pack up its military from everywhere and go home?

Yes. With no exceptions. We are not the world’s policeman. And we cannot even police the United States, except to steal money from the people and generally wreak havoc. The police are perceived quite often, and correctly, in most parts of the country as the enemy. I think it is time we roll back the empire — it is doing no one any good. It has cost us trillions of dollars, which makes me feel it’s going to fold on its own because there isn’t going to be enough money left to run it.

Read the full interview here.

Have a good Saturday!
