Iraq by Slavoj Zizek
In order to render the strange logic of dreams, Freud quoted the old 'joke' about the borrowed kettle: 1) I never borrowed a kettle from you, 2) I returned it to you unbroken, 3) the kettle was already broken when I got it from you. That same inconsistency, Zizek argues, characterises the justification of the attack on Iraq.
Hopping from peak to peak, and periodically descending into the valley of present-day culture for refreshment, Zizek outlines a topology of activity that recovers revealed truths* Counterpunch *
Zizek will entertain and offend, but never bore. * The Stranger *
