A loucura americana ou American Way of Madness

Recebi de meu pai com a seguinte pergunta: "Saiu no "The Times" de hoje. Os conservadores ingleses são mais racionais
que os nossos e os americanos?!"

É um texto de John le Carré e impressiona, também sei que é um pouco longo, por isso publicarei partes dele. O link se encontra AQUI

The United States of America has gone mad
John le Carré

America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War. (esse é o primeiro parágrafo)...

The imminent war was planned years before bin Laden struck, but it was he who made it possible. Without bin Laden, the Bush junta would still be trying to explain such tricky matters as how it came to be elected in the first place; Enron; its shameless favouring of the already-too-rich; its reckless disregard for the world’s poor, the ecology and a raft of unilaterally abrogated international treaties. They might also have to be telling us why they support Israel in its continuing disregard for UN resolutions. (esse é o terceiro parágrafo)...

The religious cant that will send American troops into battle is perhaps the most sickening aspect of this surreal war-to-be. Bush has an arm-lock on God. And God has very particular political opinions. God appointed America to save the world in any way that suits America. God appointed Israel to be the nexus of America’s Middle Eastern policy, and anyone who wants to mess with that idea is a) anti-Semitic, b) anti-American, c) with the enemy, and d) a terrorist.(esse é o sexto parágrafo)...
