Watch the full interview with Arundhati Roy on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/jaGSl. On the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the global justice activist and author Arundhati Roy discusses the war's legacy with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman. Roy is the author of many books, including "The God of Small Things," "Walking with the Comrades," and "Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers." Looking back, Roy says the global protests that preceded the Iraq invasion marked "perhaps the biggest display of public morality in the world." But with a "psychopathic situation" that still enables wars and global violence today, Roy urges that "we can't do anything, but keep being reasonable, keep saying what needs to be said."
