Why we must lose this war (Metro Times Detroit)

In Why we must lose this war, Jack Lessenberry introduces us to Gwynne Dyer, who says, among many other interesting things:

"The United States needs to lose the war in Iraq as soon as possible. Even more urgently, the whole world needs the United States to lose the war in Iraq. What is at stake now is the way we run the world for the next generation or more, and really bad things will happen if we get it wrong.”

as well as

“The U.S. economy is a confidence trick based on everybody else’s perception that the United States is centrally important for the world’s security and that its economy is centrally important for the world economy.”

Powerful stuff.
