AlterNet: George Soros Interview:

"When you look at the history of the United States, we have had many temporary aberrations - the internment of the Japanese Americans in the Second World War, the McCarthy era, Watergate, and so on. We went on to greater and better things. If we now reject Bush, I think we can resume our place in the world as a powerful but peace-loving nation. If we endorse him by giving him another four years, then we are losing ourselves to something that I find extremely scary.

I think that we might end up in a permanent state of war, because the war against terror - it doesn't need to come to an end. The Bush approach facilitates terrorism, re-energizing itself by creating more terrorists. "
