In Search of Monsters to Destroy: American Empire in the New Millennium,
by Juan Alsace, the US Consul General in Barcelona.
"In tallying the costs buried within the debris of 9/11, Americans need to
look beyond the lost lives and shattered dreams and recognize that defense
of the empire they possess will not come cheaply. But first that must
accept the fact of empire. Those who argue the US has no empire to uphold
whistle past the graveyard, ignoring the historically unparalleled
confluence of political, economic, military and information power that
have come together in the American imperial construct...The imperial path
holds danger and difficulty, but it is a choice the nation must embrace,
even if reluctantly and at certain cost."
>From Parameters, Autumn 2003, the publication of the US Army War College.
