Summary: Eye-opening, brilliant, and wise
Comment: It has always struck me as a sign of wisdom to be able to find opportunities in difficult moments. Jim Garrison's extraordinary book, America As Empire, does just that, revealing the opportuinities in our current situation. With breathtaking clarity, it shows how we could use our global pre-eminence not to dominate and bully, but to establish the new mechanisms and institutions necessary for the effective management of the global system. It's a bold and refreshing vision, in which America uses its national sovereignty and power with imagination and decisiveness to establish an effective and democratic world order. What I love about this book is that it presents a realistic way for this nation to express its greatness and use its power to lead. If we fail to heed its message, I am afraid the international system will continue to degenerate into increasing chaos, leading to what policymakers call "catastrophic futures" or "extreme events." Eloquently written, with a deep sense of the historical significance of our present moment, JIm Garrison's America As Empire may be one of the most important books to appear on the world stage in decades.

Summary: U S Policy is a Disaster: There's Nothing New Here Though!
Comment: .
America's founders believed that the proper foreign policy for a freedom loving nation can be summed up as "Free Trade With All and Entangling Alliances with None". Garrison, on the other hand, is for any kind of entanglement that can harness the USA to the goals of international socialism.
I too object to a US foreign policy that places us in the role of global policeman and has us interfering with the internal affairs of others. We should be encouraging our business people, scientists and artists to go abroad to make peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with the peoples of the world, not sending our soldiers out to enforce the will of some small group of elite fat cats that have been scheming to run this country for their own benefit since before we were even a nation.
The only way we can exist peacefully with the rest of the world and enjoy freedom and prosperity at home is to strictly limit the power and scope of the State.
Unfortunately Garrison believes the opposite. In fact in a recent Public Radio interview he stated his belief that we need to raise taxes so the State can again have the resources it needs so it can return to the business of creating wealth as it did in the good old days of president Franklin D Roosevelt and the "New Deal"! Is it possible that people still believe that old propaganda!!?
Of course government wealth creating schemes are like spinning gold from straw and when they fail, as they inevitably must, the people's attention will need to be distracted, and nothing serves better for that purpose than a good war.
"War is the Health of the State", and the State is not you and me brothers and sisters!
