Nope. I was thinking more of his books
Collossus and
Empire. Like I said, I don't agree with everything he writes.
What's more, while I may believe that it would take an Imperial America to solve some of the world's more intractable problems, it doesn't necessarily mean I advocate actually doing it. It presents all manner of moral, political, financial, and logistical nightmares. On the other hand, I also don't believe that we are ever going to get out of Iraq with a measure of long-term success, nor is Israel ever going to see true long-term peace, without it.
Quite the paradox, no?
