Clooney is a self-described political liberal. Speaking about the Iraq war: “You can’t beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people seeking revenge. These days it only matters who’s in charge. Right now that’s us — for a while at least. Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks because they have no other way to win…. I believe (Rumsfeld) thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can’t beat anyone anymore.”^[29]
