The fundamentals of U.S. foreign policy — a policy based on the grandiose delusion that the U.S. can and must retain hegemonic power in the world in order to ensure its own security — haven’t changed a single iota. According to our commander in chief, that fanatics are plotting against America in a cave somewhere in Waziristan is reason enough to launch a decades-long occupation and nation-building project in the wilds of Central Asia.

Will we not finally understand that running society via coercion and violence is not merely inefficient but horribly, shockingly wrong?
