This work argues that the influence of neoconservatives has been none too small and all too important in the shaping of this monumental doctrine and historic moment in American foreign policy. Through a fascinating account of the central figures in the neoconservative movement and their push for war with Iraq, he reveals the imperial designs that have guided them in their quest for the establishment of a global Pax Americana.
After decades of Politically Correct attitudes, big-government fixes, culture wars and muddled foreign policy, the U.S. finds itself on the brink of what may become an historic decline from preeminence. In addition, recent trends and events such as globalism and the war on terror have created an environment for the U.S. which is increasingly more dangerous. America was founded on the principles of democracy and freedom. In the last half of the 20th century America forgot these important principles and allowed elements potentially dangerous to freedom and democracy to prevail. What can citizens do to change this trend? As the nation's social and political institutions are in peril of failure citizens must rise up and demand change. Several areas are identified for reform including education, the media and the political process. Ready or not, America's challenges of the 21st century must be addressed with an eye to both the future's perils as well as the Founders principles.

Alexis de Tocqueville once wrote that "the people reign over the American political world like God over the universe," unwittingly casting democracy as the political instantiation of the death of God. According to Jeffrey W. Robbins, Tocqueville's assessment remains an apt observation of modern democratic power, which does not rest with a sovereign authority but operates as a diffuse social force. By linking radical democratic theory to a contemporary fascination with political theology, Robbins envisions the modern experience of democracy as a social, cultural, and political force transforming the nature of sovereign power and political authority. Robbins joins his work with Michael Hardt a...
*Includes the gruesome albeit heroic tales of the Early Christian Martyrs, and 20th century martyrdom. This book's meant to target the addict who's fallen so deep within the pits of hell they've ran out of options and require upmost assistance. (the omnipotent source). Yet, it surprisingly relates and opens the eyes of anyone merely suffering from stress or depression; particularly as a cause of our deceptive society we live amongst. This book's far more than a unique and relatable approach at using Christianity, as the author understands many who don't use this path aren't in need of turning in that direction. Thereupon, F&K ft. historic/modern sociology, etc. This book attracts non-believer's unlike anything else. Written by an addict involved in the deepest levels of the life-style for 20years, this book presents an unimaginable variety of sources and topics. The time has come to toss the N/A book straight into the trash. Ft.For the Non-Believers/If God's Not Real: Christian Philosophy vs. Positive Thinking
This book explores how George W. Bush’s Freedom Agenda for the Middle East and North Africa was conceived and implemented as an American national interest, from the Bush era right through to the initial stages of the Obama administration. It highlights how the crisis presented by September 11 2001 led to regime change in Afghanistan and Iraq, but more broadly how American policy towards the region had a softer imperial side, which drew on broader economic theories of democratisation and modernisation. The Freedom Agenda contained within it a prescribed method of combating terrorism, but also a method of engaging with and reforming the entire Middle East region more broadly, with many insti...
