"Generic appeals to peace never roused our interest: war, today as four centuries ago, has a very solid raison d'etre, rooted in the criminal decisions of states and supernational powers, the United States as well as Charles V's empire. Ethnic cleanings and retaliations have their reason too, a reason that we reject and oppose, being aware that time won't stop rewarding with victories and defeats those who keep up this struggle, i.e. the only conflict worth enlisting for. These days of bloodbath coincide with our Q promotional tour all over Italy. It would immoral and inconsistent with our long-time political praxis not to seize this opportunity, that's why we're using our paradoxical "fame" to censure both the madness of rulers and the apathy of the ruled ones."
From a press release, by the collective authors of 'Q', the Luther Blissett project, Bologna, April 1st, 1999 (the entire press release found in the link)
