One of the reasons I am so strongly opposed to the course of empire is that will hasten the destruction of this society and what is left of our liberties. Although I do sound anti-American at times, I really am not. I see the US as a kind of Jekyll and Hyde nation. On the positive side the US has enormous accomplishments to its credit in virtually every field of human endeavor. This nation has indeed provided more people with a higher standard of living than any country in history. But it also has a VERY dark side that includes slavery, the near-extermination of the Indians, brutal colonial wars like Vietnam and now possibly Iraq. Plus the deliberate targeting of civilians during wartime in Japan, Germany, southeast Asia, and Iraq. Not to speak of hundreds of thousands killed by CIA supported death squads in places like Indonesia during the 1960s and central America in the 1980s. In the immortal novel "Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde" depicting a battle between good and evil for one man's soul -- the evil side won out in the end leading to the death of the subject. I would hate to see the US follow such a path.
