DESCRIPTION:\nAndrew Bacevich\n"The United States today finds itself threatened by 
 three interlocking crises. The first of these crises is economic and 
 cultural, the second political, and the third military. All three share 
 this characteristic: They are of our own making.\n...\nYet, as events have 
 made plain, the United States is ill prepared to wage a global war of no 
 exits and no deadlines. The sole superpower lacks the resources — 
 economic, political, and military — to support a large-scale, protracted 
 conflict without, at the very least, inflicting severe economic and 
 political damage on itself. American power has limits and is inadequate to 
 the ambitions to which hubris and sanctimony have given rise." ~ Andrew 
 Bacevich\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Bacevich is perhaps the only writer to regularly 
 contribute to both the Nation and Pat Buchanan's The American Conservative. 
 Andrew examines the United States’ daunting problem of overexpansion and 
 overconsumption and argues for a return to pragmatism before the damage 
 from such excessiveness becomes irreparable. Andrew calls for respect for 
 power and its limits and an aversion to claims of exceptionalism and 
 skepticism of easy solutions, especially those involving force and a 
 conviction that Americans must live within their means. \nSource: Free
