Dear Susan, 2000, n. 47, pp. 18-22
The author answers an article by Susan Sontag in favour of the war in Kosovo. Through a thoughtful analysis, the authors underlines similarities and differences with Sontag's argument on the meaning of "just war", of the US as the world peacekeeper, of a war to stop the horror of "ethnic cleansing".
Drawing upon her personal experiences, the author argues that a military conflict among national states can never be a "war of liberation", like the struggles of African peoples against colonialism. The differences among them cannot be eliminated by the rhetoric of freedom and of human rights.
