"In a way, the American side descended to Saddam's level, which happens often in these types of circumstances. That is why the people in Iraq do not accept the current state of affairs"

About this Quote

This quote by Dario Fo speaks with the power characteristics in between the United States and Iraq during the Iraq War. Fo suggests that the American side "came down to Saddam's level," implying that the United States embraced some of Saddam's strategies in order to gain an advantage. This is a typical event in war, as both sides will often resort to severe procedures in order to gain an advantage. Fo's quote likewise talks to the existing state of affairs in Iraq, which is declined by the individuals. This is likely due to the reality that the US has actually not had the ability to cause a long lasting peace and stability in the region, and individuals of Iraq are still experiencing the results of the war. Fo's quote is a pointer of the power dynamics in between the US and Iraq, and the need for an enduring peace in the area.
