Description: Author Andrew Bacevich discusses the role of the military in American foreign policy, a subject he covers in his new book "The New American Militarism: How Americans are Seduced by War." Mr. Bacevich says that the United States now views international issues as military issues and as a result, involves the military even when unnecessary.
