“So the Bush-Obama administration has taken a fiscal stance diametrically opposed to that of the patron saint of free enterprise.

Before that the United States had been mostly a regional power - Britain was the biggest global power. After the Second World War, national security is everywhere, because we basically owned the world, so our security is threatened everywhere. Not just on our borders, but everywhere - so you have to have a thousand military bases around the world for "defense."” WorldWarStatesReasonUsedUnitedUnited StatesSecurityMilitaryThousandBasesDefenseAround The WorldBordersPhrasesWar Of The WorldsBritainThreatenedNational SecuritySecond World War1930sMilitary Bases Author:Noam Chomsky
