George Kennan (1904-2005)
Sobre a situação em Itália no pós-guerra:
"The left was obviously going to win the elections. [...] The US wouldn't tolerate that. [...] They decided that they would undermine the election. [...] There were other people who were more extreme, like George Kennan, who thought that we just ought to invade the place, not even let them have the election. They managed to hold him back, figuring that subversion and terror and starvation would do it. And it did."
De Noam Chomsky, "Keeping the rabble in line", Common Courage Press, Monroe, Maine (1994).
