Chomsky turns the tables, charging the United States with being a "failed state," and therefore a danger to its own people and the world. "Failed states," Chomsky writes, are those "that do not protect their citizens from violence and perhaps even destruction, that regard themselves as beyond the reach of domestic or international law, and that suffer from a 'democratic deficit, ' having democratic forms but with limited substance." Exploring recent U.S. foreign and domestic policies, Chomsky assesses Washington's escalation of nuclear risks; the dangerous consequences of the occupation of Iraq; and Americas's self-exemption from international law. He also examines an American electoral system that frustrates genuine political alternatives, thus impeding any meaningful democracy.--From publisher description. 000315704 60010 $$aBush, George W.$$q(George Walker),$$d1946- 000315704 650_0 $$aUnilateral acts (International law) 000315704 650_0 $$aSecurity, International. 000315704 650_0 $$aIraq War, 2003-2011. 000315704 650_0 $$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 000315704 650_0 $$aNuclear nonproliferation. 000315704 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y2001-2009. 000315704 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y2001-2009. 000315704 85200 $$bgen$$hE902$$i.C468$$i2006 000315704 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0629/2006041961-b.html 000315704 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0629/2006041961-d.html 000315704 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0643/2006041961-s.html 000315704 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:315704$$pGLOBAL_SET 000315704 980__ $$aBIB 000315704 980__ $$aBOOK 000315704 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
