People who we don't know massacred people who we do. And they did so with contemptuous glee." Then he broke down and wept." Not Again by Arundhati Roy A quote...."Writers imagine that they cull stories from the world.  I'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so.  That it's actually the other way around.  Stories cull writers from the world.  Stories reveal themselves to us.  The public narrative, the private narrative -- they colonize us.  They commission us.  They insist on being told.  Fiction and non-fiction are only different techniques of story telling.  For reasons I do not fully understand, fiction dances out of me.  Non-fiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning." 'Brutality smeared in peanut butter' A quote...."As darkness deepened over Afghanistan on Sunday October 7 2001, the US government, backed by the International Coalition Against Terror (the new, amenable surrogate for the United Nations), launched air strikes against Afghanistan. TV channels lingered on computer-animated images of cruise missiles, stealth bombers, tomahawks, "bunker-busting" missiles and Mark 82 high drag bombs. All over the world, little boys watched goggle-eyed and stopped clamouring for new video games." The Greater Common Good A quote...."Let me say at the outset that I'm not a city-basher. I've done my time in a village. I've had first-hand experience of the isolation, the inequity and the potential savagery of it. I'm not an anti-development junkie, nor a proselytiser for the eternal upholding of custom and tradition. What I am, however, is curious. Curiosity took me to the Narmada Valley. Instinct told me that this was the big one. The one in which the battle-lines were clearly drawn, the warring armies massed along them. The one in which it would be possible to wade through the congealed morass of hope, anger, information, disinformation, political artifice, engineering ambition, disingenuous socialism, radical activism, bureaucratic subterfuge, misinformed emotionalism and, of course, the pervasive, invariably dubious, politics of International Aid." The New American Century A quote...."In January 2003 thousands of us from across the world gathered in Porto Alegre in Brazil and declared--reiterated--that "Another World Is Possible." A few thousand miles north, in Washington, George W. Bush and his aides were thinking the same thing." Baby Bush go home A quote...."On his triumphalist tour of this part of the world, where he hopes to wave imperiously at people he considers potential subjects, President Bush's itinerary is getting curiouser and curiouser. For his March 2 pit stop in New Delhi, the Indian government tried very hard to have him address our Parliament. A not inconsequential number of MPs threatened to heckle him, so Plan One was hastily shelved. Plan Two was that he address the masses from the ramparts of the magnificent Red Fort where the Indian prime minister traditionally delivers his Independence Day address. But the Red Fort, surrounded as it is by the predominantly Muslim population of Old Delhi, was considered a security nightmare. So now we're into Plan Three: President George Bush speaks from Purana Qila, the Old Fort. Ironic, isn't it, that the only safe public space for a man who has recently been so enthusiastic about India's modernity should be a crumbling medieval fort?" Who Pulled The Trigger...Didn't We All? A quote...."Several media reports, including the Outlook story about the February 8 attempted assassination of S.A.R. Geelani, suggest that I am among those who have accused the Delhi Police of carrying out the attack. Not true. While several people have made this accusation, I'm not one of them. I'm not in the business of making unsubstantiated allegations. What I said was that since the Special Cell of the Delhi Police has shadowed Geelani and kept him under close surveillance, they ought to know who was involved. Of course Geelani himself, both before and after this attack, has placed on record the fact that he feared for his life and that the source of his fear was the Special Cell." Arundhati Roy Peace Prize lecture transcript A quote...."Arundhati Roy - The 2004 Sydney Peace Prize Lecture - 04 November 2004 - It’s official now. The Sydney Peace Foundation is neck deep in the business of gambling and calculated risk. Last year, very courageously, it chose Dr Hanan Ashrawi of Palestine for the Sydney Peace Prize. And, as if that were not enough, this year — of all the people in the world — it goes and chooses me!"
