> Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
>
> An internationally acclaimed author of eighteen novels, John LeCarre is
> also an astute political observer. In an exclusive essay published in the
> November 19, 2001 issue of The Nation, LeCarre insists that the US's
> current war on terrorism, rather than vanquishing the terrorist threat, is
> in fact likely to increase it.
>
> As he writes, "What America is storing up for herself...is yet more
> enemies; because after all the bribes, threats and promises that have
> patched together the rickety coalition, we cannot prevent another suicide
> bomber being born each time a misdirected missile wipes out an innocent
> village, and nobody can tell us how to dodge this devil's cycle of
> despair, hatred and -- yet again -- revenge."
>
