John Pilger
" Democracy is not one obsessed man using the power of kings to attack another country in our name. Democracy is not siding with Ariel Sharon, a war criminal, in order to crush Palestinians. Democracy is this great event today representing the majority of the people of Great Britain. "

John Pilger

John Pilger

John Pilger
" Vietnam was as much a laboratory experiment as a war. "
