US: Threat to the security and independence of nations
The United States� new National Security Strategy (NSS) document arrogantly declares the US� status as today�s sole superpower. The document was issued on September 20 as part of Bush�s warmongering against Iraq.
Through the NSS, the US brazenly threatens to use its military superiority to block any attempt by any country to challenge its power.
The US uses the September 11, 2001 attacks as a pretext to make its plans of armed aggression appear like acts of self-defense.
While calling for a stop to other countries� production of weapons of mass destruction with such overweening arrogance, the US blatantly declares that it will maintain the forces and arsenal sufficient to allegedly ensure peace. It says that it will not hesitate to launch preemptive attacks on any country it considers terrorist �before the threat reaches� the US.
The US has also openly shunned the role of other countries in deciding on international conflicts. It says it will not hesitate to act alone �if necessary.�
The NSS summarizes the Bush doctrine, which is none other than the unbridled use of military force to perpetuate US imperialist domination of the world.
