This is my first Chomsky book. It is quite clear he is an academic and able to say the same thing in different ways (at least through out the first half of the book) but the context is nevertheless good and important- as a nation, we are “bullies” and it is ok for us to break laws but not for everyone else. He gives specific examples like treaties that have been violated and UN resolutions that we vetoed and violated too in order to protect and pursue our national security interests. And given the new generation of politicians- neoliberals and neoconservatives- it is nothing new when it comes to the Iraq War- It’s all in the name of national security. We really don’t care about democracy in the Middle East only that our thirst for oil is met.

The second part of the the book he clarifies the context and the meaning of the failed states. He delineates several examples after World War II in which we meddled into foreign country affairs and created “failed states”- from countries in Central America, South America, and the Middle East. Now because of our corrupt, immoral, and greedy influence, we are now more than ever looking like a failed state.

I thought he made several very good points but it was nothing new to me given that I have already read various books relating to U.S. foreign policy already. The only criticism I had was that it seemed redundant at times. Overall though, very good and recommended.
Failed States The Abuse

I am really pleased with this vacuum. It may not be fancy or have lots of bells and whistles but it gets the job done well. The sucking power is amazing. I feel like my carpet is really clean and free from pet hair. All the attachments work well and get into all the nooks and crannies of a home. I am very happy with the vacuum and the price that I paid for it. I haven’t had any problems with it and I don’t have any complaints about it at this time. I recommend it highly.
