He demonstrates graphically how US administrations have preferred juntas rather than elected governments; how the US economy is overwhelmingly geared to war; how the violence of America's actions abroad has been accompanied by erosion of civil liberties at home; how, in short, in the last 50 years the ideals of America's founding fathers have been turned upside-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatwant Singh\u003c\/b\u003e is one of India's leading writers on international affairs.
