Author Jonathan Littell on Syria: 'I'm Fundamentally a Pessimist'
American-French author Jonathan Littell caused a sensation with his 2006 novel "The Kindly Ones." His latest book is based on his experiences with opposition fighters in Syria, including in the city of Homs. In a SPIEGEL interview, Littell explains why he believes the chaos in Syria could spread to its neighbors, including Lebanon.

The west and dictators
" Littell: They closed their eyes to his regime for a long time. Less than two years ago, he was received in Paris, together with his wife, as a "good" dictator, a supposed modernizer and reformer. And now we're seeing the result. The West has a long history of willingly coming to arrangements with dictators of all sorts.
The west, and especially France and Germany, has a very long a shameful history regarding murderous dictators. I see that Mr. Littell forgot to mention his country's and Germany's long a very fruitful relations with Saddam Hussain, they were very much against any change in Iraq and both still regret Saddam's good old times. Am interested in knowing who were the savages in the french-Algerian war? |
