Americans no longer interested in policing the world

Raw Story
by Michael Cohen

09/08/13

After 12 years of endless war; after Afghanistan, after Iraq, after Libya, after the drones in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, the American people have had enough. There is perhaps no better explanation for the rather remarkable situation unfolding right now in Washington. President Obama has gone to the US Congress to ask for a military authorization for the use of force against Syria after its international-norm-breaking use of chemical weapons against its own people...

Empty moralism on Syria

Reason
by Steve Chapman

09/09/13

The advocates of war against Syria have taken Theodore Roosevelt s advice and turned it upside down. They believe that in confronting Bashar al-Assad, the United States should speak loudly and carry a tiny stick...

Precedent for dictatorship

CounterPunch
by Norman Pollack

09/10/13

Obama s movement toward war, simultaneously making a pitch to Congress, as though going through the motions for the sake of legitimacy, in domestic affairs (i.e., supposedly satisfying Constitutional requirements and principles), while, except for the lame arguments of humanitarian intervention and a threat to America s national interest, he s vulgarizing the interpretation of international law. Obama appears to be doing this in order to gain exemption from the valid charge of war crimes and outright contemptuously repudiating the status and power of the United Nations, in particular, by-passing the need for Security Council approval for war, is too 'cute,' far more dangerous in the precedent he is creating for arbitrary (domestic) and unilateral (international) actions than anything that had been done by Reagan, Clinton, and Bush I and II...

We live in a police state

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

09/30/13

Here is a perfect illustration of how the advancement of government power works: give them an inch or three, access to 'meta-data', and they take a mile. What we wind up with is a perfect framework for a police state. Although we still don t know how many innocent Americans have been caught up in this dragnet, the old 'six degrees of separation' principle certainly applies in this case: anybody can be 'linked' to anybody, given the sheer amount of information at the government?s disposal...

The standing army marches on

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

09/30/13

Throughout American history, the distinction between law enforcement and military force was often blurred. Early on, the state militia carried out both kinds of functions. In the midst of abuse during Reconstruction, the Posse Comitatus Act sought to sharpen the distinction, but the modern era occasioned the carving of major exceptions into this law. By the late 20th century, the drug war allowed for major exemptions. The war on terror has further nationalized and militarized law enforcement. So today the nation s various police departments have taken on the role of standing armies, such that they run afoul of the spirit of the Third Amendment on a daily basis...

When the Police Become a Standing Army, Liberty is Sacrificed Without Security

Radley Balko, Truthout/PublicAffairs Books: There has been a generation-long shift to increasingly aggressive, militaristic and arguably unconstitutional policing, one that would have shocked the conscience of America s founders, according to Balko Radley. Read an excerpt from his book 'Rise Of The Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America s Police Forces.'

Could America Become a Police State?

L. Michael Hager, Truthout: Security lobbyists, the media and the government itself continue to stoke public fears of another attack on 'the homeland.' Thus there remains a national preoccupation with 'security,' which trumps our traditional values of freedom and privacy.
