Robert Fisk Zitate

We are constantly trying to cope with what our fathers or our grandfathers did. I wrote the book 'Great War of Civilization,' and my father was a solider in the First World War which produced the current Middle East - not that he had much to do with that - but he fought in what he believed was the Great War for Civilization.

Wir versuchen ständig mit dem umzugehen, was unsere Väter oder unsere Großväter getan haben. Ich habe das Buch "Great War of Civilization" geschrieben, und mein Vater war ein Soldat im Ersten Weltkrieg, der den gegenwärtigen Nahen Osten hervorbrachte - nicht, dass er damit viel zu tun hatte -, aber er kämpfte in dem, was er für den Ersten Weltkrieg hielt für die Zivilisation.
