Radio Interview: Between the Lines, with Scott Harris
Here’s a radio interview I did with Scott Harris, host of Between the Lines. Follow this link for the full interview.
The focus of the interview is how the 2003 invasion of Iraq upset a fragile but workable balance of power in the Middle East, unleashing the chaos we are witnessing today playing out in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere. So the short version: yes, it is all our fault, and more airstrikes and drone killings will work out in current Iraq about as well as they have in Yemen, Libya and all the other places where lacking any alternative besides getting out, the U.S. just lashes out.
Between The Lines describes itself as “a weekly syndicated half-hour news magazine featuring progressive perspectives on national and international political, economic and social issues” which seems about right. Have a listen to the interview!

1Glenn Greenwald: “Terrorism. We ought to ask ourselves, what does that even mean? A lot of these people are Iraqis fighting for control of their own government. I mean, maybe there is an argument to make that outside forces that go in and start bombing that country or invading that country are actually terrorists more so than the people in the country.”
