Overreach: America's Imperial Waterloo? by Stephen Lendman 
Obama exceeded the worst Bush policies. If reelected, he'll surpass what he's already done. So will Romney. Will waging war on humanity be America's Waterloo? Washington is permanently at war against enemies it creates. Doing so is secretive, unaccountable, intrusive, repressive, and self-destructive.Duopoly power and diktat executive authority rule. Checks and balances don't exist. Homeland social decay deepens. Corruption is endemic. It's too deep-rooted to reverse.Institutionalized spying and police state laws threaten everyone. Major media mind manipulation substitutes for real news, information and analysis.Johnson envisioned inevitable dictatorial rule, and decline. The founders founders knew the risks "and tried to create a form of government - a republic - that would prevent this from occurring."They failed. Large "standing armies, almost continuous wars, military Keynesianism, and ruinous military expenses have destroyed our republican structure in favor of an imperial presidency."America chose the wrong path. It's too late to change. Permanent wars may prove America's undoing. Will humanity go down with it? "Naked (anti-US) hatred" rages, said Bild. "When US flags burn, embassies are vandalized, and diplomats are murdered, it is an attack on the West, and not just America."Winning friends and influencing people isn't accomplished by attacking, killing, colonizing, and exploiting them.
