Drifting Down the Path to Perdition
In "The Delusions of Global Hegemony," Part 1 of the latest Tom Engelhardt interview, Andrew Bacevich took up military scapegoating over the Iraq War, the strains between the military and civilian sides of the Pentagon, the possibility of an air assault on Iran, and especially the way the Iraq War revealed both the limits of American military power and the dreamy, fantastical, triumphalist thinking that, these last years, accompanied the Bush administration's attempt to expand American global hegemony. Now, in Part II, Bacevich turns to cheap oil and energy wars, life in uniform, the evolution of his own thinking, and the American way of life.
