ferguson rocks. i havnt finished war of the world yet, having left it on a plane. Pity of war was quite good, though it im not one for counter factuals. In fergusons case ill make an exception. Colossus was a classic, and i fear that he wrote just a year or two too early. Empire was solid all around, though im concerned that he fails to integrate many of the post colonialist viewpoints, partha chaterjee for example, or maybe though a little extreme, Spivak. Said is now mainstream enough i think

Nearing the end of the pre-McCain era we're not allowed to call the US an empire and we can't say that the US is in recession. China is holding now 1.5 trillion dollars from trade surplus, earning low interest and yet it's advantageous to have the US consuming its production. So let's say the US is the reigning empire, overextended, in debt, in recession with only a mechanized millitary to do its bidding? Do you really think McCain's belligerence will be limited to diplomacy.
