Entry: The Architecture of Perpetual War Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_architecture_of_perpetual_war#3439 Post contents: Of course, the US is not the only country to ever commit aggresion, but it is the only country currently to routinely use force on just about any pretext to micro-manage the affairs of others. Haiti was invaded by Clinton to install Aristide in power after his overthrow by a military coup and then was invaded in turn by Bush to throw Aristide out and install someone else. Panama was invaded and about a thousand innocent civilians killed to make a drug bust. These are the small examples - the ones that slip right by as the devastation of Iraq continues. The US maintains more than 700 military bases in more than 100 countries around the world. Global imperialism on this level sort of makes what anyone else is doing look pretty trivial at this time. Indeed Americans should remove that huge plank from their own eyes first before dealing with the speck in the eyes of others. Sent at: 2008 08 30
