Bref les 2 interviews sont litteralement opposées donc soit les interviewers pipotent soit Mustaine est un connard qui change d'avis comme de chemises.
Citation:
Retour à l’album. The System Has Failed fait référence à ce que le groupe a traversé ces dernières années ?
D.M. : Non, je fais référence aux États-Unis, à son système politique, à sa politique de guerre, d’éducation, l’administration de la Maison Blanche. Mais également de nos relations avec les pays étrangers comme la France, l’Allemagne ou la Russie. Mais pour en revenir aux États-Unis, il y a un racisme incroyable. Un autre système qui a failli dans mon pays est le régime. Notre population est obèse. Tu ne trouveras pas de personnes aussi grosses dans le monde qu’aux Etats-Unis. C’est vraiment flippant.
Tu as donc vu le dernier film de Michael Moore ?
D.M. : Non, pas encore. Mais je ne crois pas que je vais aller le voir car je n’aime pas Michael Moore

This is another Megadeth “anti-system” album, right? About how you feel on what’s going on in the world. So, let’s have it in spoken words instead of lyrics – how do you feel about what went on in Iraq?
It needed to happen. The Americans went in there to liberate Iraq. A lot of people don’t think they were being liberated because France didn’t join in, Germany didn’t join in and neither did Russia. The reason they didn’t join in was because they had billions of dollars in stake with building the oil fields in the North of Iraq. The reason Russia, Germany and France supported us when we went into Afghanistan was because Afghanistan is a shit-hole. The people [of Afghanistan] I believe are probably very lovely people - I’ve never met any Afghanis but, you know, Russia wasn’t making billion dollar oil fields up there. Afghanistan was known for its poppy production which results in heroin. Afghanistan is renowned for its hashish. If Germany, France and Russia went into Iraq, public opinion would be different. People in the music business, in America, are talking bad about Bush…you know what? Shut the fuck up! You’re a musician; you don’t know a thing about running a country! If there would have been a better man to run the States right now, we would have picked him, it’s a democratic process. There are a couple of guys who run for office, everybody picks him, he goes to the next level. Shut up, he’s the fucking president! There’s gonna be an election, if you don’t like him go for the other guy. Don’t sit back there and just piss and moan. I see all these guys like Michael Moore going off and I’m like “dude, you don’t have a fucking idea about what you’re talking about”.
You don’t like Michael Moore?
I have no idea who he is. Like “what are you doing?”, we’ve got young men and women over at Iraq by now sacrificing their lives every day because they love their country and their doing what their country told them to do. It’s not their fault, it’s not their fault we’re at war. And I don’t think that the spirit of the Greek people would wanna watch one American die needlessly. I don’t think that’s how you guys are over here.
Well, we don’t want to see anyone die actually.
Right. And I think that because there’s so much bullshit going on with self-advancement in America that people are trying to make what Bush is doing look bad. Now, am I a republican? No. Am I an American? Yeah. Do I consider myself to be patriotic? Yes. Do I think the war with Iraq was wrong? No! Saddam Hussein was a terrorist. He was a dictator and he tortured people.
Eleni: So are you going to vote for Bush in November?
I don’t know but I can tell you right now I’m not voting for Kerry. You know, one of the other things they have is “fill” and “blank” and you can write in anyone you want; maybe I’ll write my own name in!
