Inhaltsangabe
As George W. Bush&;s Iraq mission unravelled, U.S. policy elites revived counterinsurgency doctrines&;known in an earlier incarnation as pacification. The new edition of the Counterinsurgency Field Manual defines pacification as &;the process by which the government assert[s] its influence and control in an area beset by insurgents,&; which includes &;local security efforts, programs to distribute food and medical supplies, and lasting reforms (like land redistribution).&; Such language may sound innocuous, but for Kurt Jacobsen and fellow skeptics, &;pacification&; and its synonym, &;counterinsurgency,&; are stale euphemisms for violent suppression of popular resistance movements abroad, citing the inexorable tragic atrocities committed against non-combatants in Vietnam and elsewhere. In this pamphlet, Jacobsen examines pacification, the rehabilitation of repressive practices, and their attendant illusions&;practices that, he argues, civilized nations have a duty to abandon.
