LAWRENCE D. GREENE
GUEST COLUMNIST in the Seattle PI compares the rise of the American Empire with that
of the Roman Empire.
Our Place in the World: Military interventions dangerous, costly: "Because of the infatuation of the governing Republican Party with its fanatically held idea of deregulated, laissez-faire capitalism, the United States finds itself in the paradoxical position of having disproportionate power in relation to the rest of the world but with impaired ability to govern because of this ideological peculiarity of its Republican governing class. Obviously, if you hate the very idea of having government do anything, you are not likely to do government well. "
