The "war" against Iraq: Eurasia, the hidden variable

Abstract

This article posits that after the invasion of Iraq we are witnessing an arms race in the United States, with geopolitical overtones. Stresses that the current U.S. administration seeks to exercise its imperial domination from the hegemonic power, giving up politics and multilateralism, knowing itself the only emerging power after the Cold War. Following the attacks in New York and Washington it would have emerged a new security model based on a reinterpretation of the enemy, which combines the doctrines of total war and that of low intensity wars contained in the National Security Doctrine. With this, argues the author, the world has entered an era marked by the doctrine of perpetual war whose self assigned global gendarme is the United States.
