UPenn prof: U.S. stuck in war on terror

By William Schpero | February 23, 2007

Criticizing America's "universal allegiance" to the war on terror, former Dartmouth professor and current University of Pennsylvania political science professor Ian Lustick called the war on terror a political and economic tool in front of a packed audience during a Thursday night speech sponsored by the Rockefeller Center and the Dartmouth Lawyers Association. The event centered on the question posed by Lustick's latest book: "Are we trapped in the war on terror?" The war, Lustick argued, grew out of efforts by a neo-conservative faction to use the 9/11 attacks to promote regime change. "Although Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, the cabal was able to devise and implement the formula linking the September attacks to its long-cherished goal: forcible regime change in Iraq as a model for a series of quick, neo-imperialist wars to revolutionize American foreign policy and accomplish conservative political objectives at home," he said.
