Anthony Arnove is an American writer and editor whose latest book is "Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal" [The New Press]. Arnove was a guest at the just ended Melbourne Writer's Festival.
Arnove was a speaker on the ABC's Radio National Perspective program this evening:
"So far, the U.S. goal of establishing a stable client regime in Iraq and using that as a base from which to project power in the Middle East, and globally, has backfired badly.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives needlessly, and, today there is less electricity, less access to safe drinking war, less security than even under the brutal dictatorship of Saddam Hussein and comprehensive international sanctions.
The United States is more hated and more isolated than at any point in recent history."
