• ¿Cuál es el objetivo de la OTAN? Bueno, en realidad tenemos una respuesta oficial. No se publicita mucho, pero hace un par de años, el secretario general de la OTAN hizo una declaración formal explicando que el propósito de la OTAN en el mundo posterior a la Guerra Fría es controlar los sistemas energéticos globales, los oleoductos y las rutas marítimas. Eso significa que es un sistema global y, por supuesto, él no lo dijo, es una fuerza de intervención bajo el mando de Estados Unidos, como hemos visto en un caso tras otro. Así que eso es la OTAN.

• Si nos remontamos a los movimientos anti-intervención, ¿cuáles fueron? Tomemos la guerra de Vietnam, el mayor crimen desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. No podías oponerte a la guerra durante años. Los principales intelectuales liberales apoyaron la guerra con entusiasmo. En Boston, una ciudad liberal donde yo estaba, literalmente no podíamos hacer una manifestación pública sin que fuera violentamente disuelta, con la prensa liberal aplaudiendo, hasta finales de 1966.

• Throughout the twentieth century and into the beginning of the twenty-first, the United States repeatedly used its military power, and that of its clandestine services, to overthrow governments that refused to protect American interests. Each time, it cloaked its intervention in the rhetoric of national security and liberation. In most cases, however, it acted mainly for economic reasons-specifically to establish, promote and defend the right of Americans to do business around the world without interference.

• Through what I have witnessed and documented, with proper interventions you can break those cycles. When I made the first film on this subject, 'Paper Tigers,' kids were going off the cliff. But then there was intervention, and they won't go off the cliff.

• What happened in the following years? Well, I think that among the educated classes it stayed the same. You talk about humanitarian intervention, it's like Vietnam was a humanitarian intervention. Among the public, it's quite different.

• En la sección "Intervención" del libro nos adentramos en ese bucle desde una batería de posiciones (en las que sanador y sufridor se desdibujan). Me interesa mucho la "repetición y revisión" (por usar la frase de Suzan Lori-Parks) y el deseo de la cultura de entrar en bucle o repetir.

• El conflicto surge cuando una comunidad religiosa insiste en la veracidad absoluta de todas las afirmaciones recogidas en la Biblia. Esto supone una intervención de la religión en la esfera de la ciencia; a ella pertenece la lucha de la Iglesia contra las doctrinas de Galileo y Darwin.

• On humanitarian intervention in general, I guess my view is not unlike the view that was attributed to Gandhi, accurately or not, when he was supposedly asked what he thought about western civilization. He is supposed to have said that he thought it would be a good idea. Similarly, humanitarian intervention would be a good idea, in principle.

• ...cuando se puede crear una competencia efectiva, es una forma de guiar los esfuerzos individuales mejor que cualquier otra... considera que la competencia es superior no sólo porque en la mayoría de las circunstancias es el método más eficiente que se conoce, sino aún más porque es el único método por el cual nuestras actividades pueden ajustarse unas a otras sin la intervención coercitiva o arbitraria de la autoridad".

• If you look in the Muslim World right now, the Shia, the Sunni Muslims are standing at the brink of a pit of fire started by Western intervention and influence in pitting them against each other by exploiting their divisions. So the stage is set for war in that area of the world that would destroy that area as completely as what they are calling the failed state Libya making Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq failed states.

• Los griegos distinguían entre buena y mala conducta, lenguaje que realzaba o disminuía a las personas.

• I was certainly not inclined to decriminalise. However, during my time in the unit, as I saw more and more evidence of 'what works', to quote New Labour's mantra of the time, it became apparent to me that ... enforcement and supply-side interventions were largely pointless. They have no significant, lasting impact on the availability, affordability or use of drugs.
