Mohsen Abdelmoumen: What is your analysis of the American withdrawal of the Iranian nuclear agreement?
Reese Erlich: The US has been violating the agreement for some time by pressuring other countries not to do business with Iran. It started under Obama and intensified under Trump. Trump’s decision to reimpose harsh sanctions sends a message around the world that you can’t trust the US, in case you had any trust previously. It is also a step towards military confrontation with Iran as seen by recent Israeli actions. I think the decision will ultimately isolate the US in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. It will make a Korean accord even more difficult. Lire la suite »
Mohsen Abdelmoumen: In your book « Staat van terror, De jihadistische revolutie » you mention among others the Arab Spring and the genesis of the conflict in Syria with the emergence of different terrorist groups.In your opinion, why those who took advantage of the chaos that prevailed after the Arab Spring are the terrorist groups?
Dr. Pieter Van Ostaeyen: In countries that came out of the Arab revolutions in utter chaos (Libya, Syria) jihadi groups profited from the complete lack of control by a central government and used the anarchy and chaos to build up a support network. In Syria one cannot deny the fact that long-time, well-known, jihadists were released from al-Assad’s prisons. Remember that Assad always said he was fighting terrorists, not rebels. These jihadi’s soon took the lead over the rebellion with the current situation as a result. Lire la suite »
Mohsen Abdelmoumen: In your opinion, is not the crisis in Syria and Iraq the direct result of the American interventions in Iraq of 1991 and 2003?
Dr. Andrew Bacevich: There is no single cause of the crisis, but the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 played a large contributing role by shattering that country. Lire la suite »

Mohsen Abdelmoumen : À votre avis, la crise en Syrie et en Irak n’est-elle pas la conséquence directe des interventions américaines en Irak de 1991 et 2003?
Dr. Andrew Bacevich : Il n’y a pas une cause unique à la crise, mais l’invasion américaine de l’Irak en 2003 a joué un rôle important en contribuant à briser ce pays. Lire la suite »
Mohsen Abdelmoumen: If Hillary Clinton becomes president, will the United States have elected a president or a war leader? At the death of Gaddafi, Hillary Clinton said “We came, we saw, he died”. Doesn’t this reference to the sentence of Jules César summarize the personality of Hillary Clinton as a war leader of the empire?
Prof. Tony Kashani: What is most disturbing about that line, which she delivered to a CBS reporter on national TV is that she did it with laughter and demeanor of a conqueror. Let’s bear in mind that this happened literally moments after she learned that the deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed. Of course, we know what a disaster that military intervention was, and the aftermath is even worse, costing American and Libyan lives, leaving Libya a failed state with no hope for stability anytime soon.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen : Si Hillary Clinton devient présidente, les États-Unis auront-ils élu un président ou un chef de guerre ? À la mort de Kadhafi, Hillary Clinton a déclaré « Nous sommes venus, nous avons vu, il est mort ». Cette référence à la phrase de Jules César ne résume-t-elle pas à elle seule la personnalité d’Hillary Clinton en tant que chef de guerre de l’empire ?
Pr. Tony Kashani : Le plus inquiétant dans cette phrase qu’elle a proférée à un journaliste de la télévision nationale CBS, c’est qu’elle l’a fait avec le rire et le comportement d’un conquérant. Tenons compte que ceci est arrivé littéralement quelques instants après qu’elle ait appris que le leader libyen déposé Mouammar Kadhafi avait été tué. Bien sûr, nous savons quel désastre a été l’intervention militaire, et la suite est encore pire, ce qui coûte des vies américaines et libyennes, faisant de la Libye un État défaillant sans espoir de stabilité de sitôt.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen: The concept of “disposability” frequently returns in your writing, whether speaking of youth, politics, the future, etc. Why do you insist on this theme?
Henry Giroux: Global capitalism has taken on a range of characteristics that demand a new language for understanding such shifts along with the effects these economic, political, and pedagogical registers are having in different degrees upon those that bear the weight of its oppressive forces. Not only have we seen a separation of power, which is global, from politics, which is local, but we have seen a full-fledged attack on the social state, the rise of the punishing state, and the emergence of what might be called an authoritarian culture of cruelty. Under such circumstances, I have tried to capture the current savagery of various regimes of neoliberal capitalism by developing a paradigm that focused on the intensification of what I have called the politics of disposability.
