America’s Empire of Bases

by
As distinct from other peoples, most Americans do not recognize — or do not want to recognize — that the United States dominates the world through its military power.

This vast network of American bases on every continent except Antarctica actually constitutes a new form of empire — an empire of bases with its own geography not likely to be taught in any high school geography class.

This is a bold, aggressive move that would put an end to the ancient principle of English liberty that a “man’s castle is beyond the surveillance of the king.” The OECD argues that ...

The Bush administration’s anti-terrorism partnership with China exemplifies its hypocrisy and contempt for human rights. ...
