I have just completed this classic Chomsky text. He might be 80 years old, but he is still cutting edge and writes with clarity. Indeed he still regularly lectures at MIT. A thinking person´s Michael Moore so to speak.
Chomsky talks about the “Imperial Grand Strategy” adopted during the Reagan/Bush 1 administration. Basically this “allowed” the US government the “right” to act as it sees fit under the pretence of unilateral patronage, despite the fact that it´s actions breaks UN resolutions – the US has become beyond International Law in it´s pursuit for complete world domination. Not surprisingly, such a policy has huge implications for the rest of the world and the way the US is viewed by others. It does not look good for our transatlantic citizens.
This book should be a compulsory text for all, Americans especially. I really hope Mr. Obama has read it.
