Michael
Hardt, "Empire vs. US Imperialism"
Some of the worst tragedies of human history occur when elites are incapable
of acting in their own interest. The waning years of ancient Rome, for example,
were full of misguided political and military adventures that brought death
and destruction to the elites, their allies and their enemies alike. Unfortunately
we are again facing such a situation. It seems inevitable that the United States
will soon conduct a full-scale war in Iraq. The US is also engaged in a war
on terrorism that may extend to all regions of the globe. And, most importantly,
the US has embarked on a foreign policy of "security" that dictates that it
not merely react to threats but anticipate them with pre-emptive strikes.
