The War On Democracy (2007) – John Pilger

it’s easy to discuss the dominance of the pakistani army in every facet of pakistan’s politico-economic life and treat this phenomenon as a “third world” issue. the american military is just as much in charge of the country’s foreign policy. it gobbles up trillions of dollars and affects what happens at home. this didn’t just start with the wars in iraq and afghanistan or the war on terror in general. there is a long history of american military interventions as a way to interact with the world.
