In class/homework: Dismantling the Empire

Date assigned
Wednesday, February 20


Assignment
Read Chalmers Johnson's essay "Dismantling the Empire" (link here).

Type a 1-page response (1.5 pages if it's handwritten) about whether you agree with Johnson's thesis or not.  Should we close down our military bases abroad and pull our military back to the United States, only to respond to direct attacks against American soil?  Or should we continue to project American power abroad?



Due date
Friday, February 22 (when we'll be looking at the opposite view about American military power)
