a<b> </b>quite interesting interview and promises to be a great series.<br>
I had heard something of it a few weeks ago because of some of the
principles expounded upon.<br>

<blockquote><b>STONE</b>: ...people will hate us more for doing this,
and we’re invading the sovereignty of Pakistan and Yemen and so many
countries....the United States is acting with impunity. But the bigger
issue is simply that there has been never—in the history of empires,
and they’ve all fallen, no one has a monopoly on any weapon ever, and
whether it’s the atomic bomb—was copied—or the hydrogen bomb. Or, in
this case, Predator drones will be made by other people, and they will
be coming this way or to our—we have 800 bases around the world under
this empire that we’ve created. So, we’re very vulnerable. In most of
them, we’ve created hatred and a desire for revenge.
<p><strong><span class="caps">PETER</span> <span class="caps">KUZNICK</span>:</strong>
And it doesn’t work. That’s the other point, that when we started our
drone attacks in Yemen, there were 300 members of al-Qaeda there; now
there are 700 or 800 members. It backfires, these policies. We just
make people hate us. We refer—the <span class="caps">CIA</span>
operators who target people in Pakistan refer to them as "bugsplats,"
the people who are killed there. To the Pakistanis, those are human
beings. To the operators here, they’re bugsplats. That’s the attitude.</p>
