In de uitzending van Democracy Now Wednesday, December 31st, 2003 "A Review of 2003 With Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Katha Pollitt, Martin Espada, Michael Parenti and Aarti Shahani", doet John Pilger, multi-award winning journalist, een boute, maar zeer moedige en uiterst belangrijke uitspraak over het belang van het Iraaks verzet. Ik heb ze hieronder neergeschreven.
Amy Goodman: ..."What about the resistance and the protests?"
John Pilger: "I think the resistance in Iraq is incredibly important for all of us. I think that we depend on the resistance to win, so that other countries might not attacked. So that the world in a sense becomes more secure. Now I don't like resistances that produce the kind of terrible civilian atrocities that this one has, but that is true for all resistances. And this one is a resistance against a rapacious power, that if it is not stopped in Iraq, will go on, as we now know, to North Korea, where Mr. Cheney and others are just champing at the bit to have a crack at that country. So, what the outcome of this resistance is, is terribly important for the rest of the world. I think if the US military machine and the Bush Administration can suffer something like a "defeat" in Iraq, they can be stopped."

Dit is een oproep om het belang van het Iraaks verzet te onderkennen, te steunen en beter te bestuderen. Moedig van John Pilger. Faut le faire !
