“‘In Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, it’s reached the point of political and social breakdown,’ Nairn said. ‘There’s no stopping it. It’s out of control. There are not two sides. It [has fractured into] many sides. It’s analogous to what happened in Cambodia, with the massive U.S. bombing of Cambodia, which paved the way for the rise of the Khmer Rouge. [It has destroyed] any semblance of normal politics or even society. In that kind of environment the most evil, the most violent, have a better chance to rise and prevail.’ Ceaseless war and indiscriminant killing define the U.S. imperial power. But this policy, he said, has backfired.”
