7 Habits of Highly Effective Imperialists:

If Americans are serious about imperialism, they will make a massive commitment to teaching little Justin and Jennifer the tongues of their new realms: Arabic, Pashtu, Dari, Farsi, Urdu, etc. And then, even more important, they will steel their children for lifetimes of overseas service.

Noam Chomsky: Understanding the Bush doctrine:

PERHAPS the most threatening document of our time is the US National Security Strategy of September 2002. Its implementation in Iraq has already taken countless lives and shaken the international system to the core.

Scott M. Rosen on the economics of interventionism:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/rosen-scott1.html

President Bush delivered his campaign stump speech in yet another venue yesterday, the United Nations, as he again attempted to defend the U.S. invasion of Iraq -- this time to the international body he'd said would become little more than a debating society if it failed to follow his call to war in Iraq. Bush repeated his theme that salvation and stability for the Middle East could be accomplished by outside powers imposing democracy at the point of a gun. He said Afghanistan and Iraq "will be a model for the broader Middle East." In a familiar effort to justify the U.S.-led war against Iraq, the president tried to have it both ways on the role of the United Nations. "The Security Council promised serious consequences for his (Saddam Hussein's) defiance. And the commitments we make must have meaning," he said. "When we say serious consequences, for the sake of peace there must be serious consequences." At issue, of course, is not the legitimacy of the Security Council's promise of serious consequences for Iraq's non-compliance but the United States' usurpation of the decision to impose those consequences.
