America's last best hope

Summary

Explores subjects from the origins of blowback to Obama's Afghanistan conundrum, including our inept spies, bad behavior in other countries, ill-fought wars, and capitulation to a military that has taken ever more control of the federal budget. The author proposes there is only one way out: President Obama must dismantle the empire before the Pentagon dismantles the American Dream. If we do not learn from the fates of past empires, our fall is foreordained
