Peter Dale Scott,
author of Mosaic Orpheus
Diplomat, poet, professor, author and political commentator Peter Dale Scott has recently written an article for Global Research: the Center for Research on Globalization, examining America’s foreign policy in the Middle East, both historically and since President Obama’s recent speech in Cairo.
The article offers a well informed and illuminating look at America, Obama, democracy, 9/11 and oil. He writes:
“America’s real strength, and ultimately its best defense, is as a civil society to which
other societies are drawn. One of the tragedies of the last decade has been the way the democratic core of that civil society has been grossly weakened. In the name of security,
a noisome fog of secrecy has obscured the workings of government from public view…
Democratic institutions are like garden plants: to prosper they need sunlight.”
Peter Dale Scott’s newest book of both personal and political poetry, Mosaic Orpheus, is currently available from the press. For a recent review, check out this article from the Globe and Mail.
