>It's also clear that the policies espoused by the US government are increasingly not those of the American people

'Defense analyst Frank Hoffman correctly notes that the new "preemption" doctrine "runs completely against U.S. political and strategic culture." It is also entirely incompatible with the assignment of powers under the U.S. Constitution, which authorizes Congress exclusively to commit our nation to war. In the name of "defensive intervention," the Bush administration is claiming an open-ended power to make war on scores of countries around the world, without declaring war.'

This has been a crisis since the founding of our country--the danger of allowing a central government too much power. People are still concerned. One problem with shafting freedom is that the inmates aren't very productive when they lack the commodity in at least moderate degrees. Do these powers that be really want that kind of lack? And as you know I am not a federalist.
