Un diplomatico di carriera americano di stanza ad Atene, John Brady Kiesling, si è dimesso considerando impossibile il lavoro sotto l’Amministrazione Bush, e ha scritto questa lettera al Segretario di Stato Colin Powell:
Until this Administration it had been possible to believe that by upholding the policies of my president I was also upholding the interests of the American people and the world. I believe it no longer.
The policies we are now asked to advance are incompatible not only with American values but also with American interests. Our fervent pursuit of war with Iraq is driving us to squander the international legitimacy that has been America’s most potent weapon of both offense and defense since the days of Woodrow Wilson. We have begun to dismantle the largest and most effective web of international relationships the world has ever known. Our current course will bring instability and danger, not security.
Grazie al grande Randal L. Schwartz per la segnalazione.
