American Empire : The Bush Doctrine-Con
- Aftermath: The Bush Doctrine
-- After the three-week military campaign that dispatched the regime of Saddam Hussein, the Bush administration may be tempted to unleash American forces against the next fire-snorting dragon down the line, whether in Syria, Iran or North Korea. While President Bush has every right to be pleased by the victory in Iraq, he should not confuse the military achievement for a validation of his doctrine of pre-emptive strikes.

- Back to Deterrence, Please
-- One by one, the rationales for the invasion and occupation of Iraq are falling away. Administration postulations of a grave and gathering Iraqi WMD threat and of a Saddam-Osama alliance dedicated to visiting a nuclear 9/11 on the United States have evaporated in the absence of discovered WMD. The same holds for an alleged collaborative relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda and Saddam's complicity in 9/11. There is, indeed, no there there.

- Bush Doctrine Rings Hollow
-- The US National Security Strategy
provides a formal rationale for the Bush administration's rhetoric and actions against Iraq. The US seems prepared "to forestall or prevent... hostile acts" and "act preemptively" to remove Hussein from power because of the "emerging threat" his country might pose to international peace. But within two months of announcing the new strategy, the North Koreans decided to put it to the test. And it looks like the Bush Doctrine has failed.

- Bush doctrine, R.I.P?
-- Is America prepared to pay the price of empire? This has been the question from the beginning. Judging from the stunned reaction among our political and journalistic elites, to the first resistance in a war that is going remarkably well, the answer is no.

- Democracy Cannot Coexist with Bush's Failed Doctrine of Preventive War
-- (December 3, 2003) This article argues that Washington does not want democracy but an assent to its policies. US President George Bush claims to lead a global struggle for democracy, but the US holds enemy prisoners without rights and denigrates US citizens who criticize the “preventive-war” policy.

- US “Empire” and its Limits
-- (October 9, 2003) US citizens feel increasingly doubtful about the "Bush doctrine." They believe that their country’s military presence in other countries increases the risk of terror attacks. Furthermore, the financial burden and the stress on US troops exceed their expectations.
