The Failure of Empire
http://www.monthlyreview.org/0105editors.htm
by the Editors
The United States is facing the prospect of a major defeat in Iraq that
is likely to constitute a serious setback in the ongoing campaign to
expand the American empire. Behind the pervasive war propaganda as
evidenced in the "victorious" attack on Fallujah lies the reality
of a U.S. war machine that is fighting a futile battle against growing
guerrilla forces, with little chance for a stable political solution to
the conflict that could possibly meet U.S. imperial objectives.
Nevertheless, the U.S. ruling class, though not unaware of the dangers,
is currently convinced that it has no choice but to "stay the
course"-a slogan adopted by both political parties and accepted by
virtually the entire economic, political, military, and communications
establishment. The reason for this seemingly irrational determination
to stick it out at all costs can only be understood through an analysis
of the logic and limits of capitalist empire.
