"There are quite a few worrying messages from the Brussels Summit. First of all, it is glaringly obvious that the summit reflects a shockingly small degree of self-knowledge, which also characterises the United States’s government. There is no understanding of the fact that there is a political background to the horrific massacres on 11 September. In keeping with this small degree of self-knowledge, at odds with the insights of international conflict researchers, alliances for combating terrorism are being entered into with the world’s most effective State-authorised terrorists. Russian genocide in Chechnya is being legitimised, and alliances entered into with oligarchies in Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Chechnya, not to mention Saudi Arabia. Any intervention is legitimised in this way and, at the same time, attempts at international conflict resolution under the UN system, including the international administration of justice, are being set aside. Moreover, the adoption of new police measures is tailored to the same pattern and based on the same low level of self-knowledge. It is the end that justifies the means. In this case, the means will deprive us of the very democracies we are supposed to be defending. I believe it will subsequently be possible to say, ‘The operation was a success, but the patient died.’"@en1
