2. "The American Empire"

Calling it an "ism" confuses what we say with what we do. No matter what Bush says we are doing, and no matter why people think we are there, it is what it is. Our Empire. A crappy, draining empire, but it is ours nonetheless. And Bush is the Emperor, because like the Roman Emperor, his power over the conquered lands is total even as he pretends to obey legal constraints at home.
