U.S. Attempts "Social Work with B-52s" in the Former Yugoslavia

<< The United States is acting as an imperial power without having an imperial appetite. This is the worst of all possible worlds. On the one side, it throws its weight around globally. On the other side, since it has no appetite for empire, it is neither predictable nor persistent. It shows up in various places for no apparent reason, gets tired and goes home. Without appetite for empire, the United States is treating imperialism as a hobby. This is dangerous. Appetites focus the mind and make people thoughtful and cautious, which at this point in its history, the United States simply isn't. If the United States wants to build an empire, then call it that and do it. If it doesn't want to build an empire, then it should stay home and let others go about their business. But social work with B-52s is not going to solve the problem or do much more than confuse everyone as to what the United States really wants. >>
