When Gore Vidal's recent New York Times bestseller Perpetual War
for Perpetual Peace was published, the Los Angeles Times described
Vidal as the last defender of the American republic. In Dreaming
War, Vidal continues this defense by confronting the Cheney-Bush
junta head on in a series of devastating essays that demolish the
lies American Empire lives by, unveiling a counter-history that
traces the origins of America's current imperial ambitions to the
experience of World War Two and the post-war Truman doctrine. And
now, with the Cheney-Bush leading us into permanent war, Vidal asks
whose interests are served by this doctrine of pre-emptive war? Was
Afghanistan turned to rubble to avenge the 3,000 slaughtered on
September 11? Or was "the unlovely Osama chosen on aesthetic
grounds to be the frightening logo for our long contemplated
invasion and conquest of Afghanistan?" After all he was abruptly
replaced with Saddam Hussein once the Taliban were overthrown. And
while "evidence" is now being invented to connect Saddam with 9/11,
the current administration are not helped by "stories in the U.S.
press about the vast oil wealth of Iraq which must- for the sake of
the free world- be reassigned to U.S. consortiums."
