Will the American public tolerate an imperial role?

The American public understands this, even if their president does not.

It remains to be seen how the American public will respond to its national U turn.

This is not the first time that the American public has allowed fear to dictate public policy.

So it is no surprise that the American public and the US Congress are angry.

Unfortunately, the American public accepted uncritically the war metaphor as the obvious response to 9 11.

But ill equipped and poorly led UN replacement forces for the American presence put the remaining US troops in the bull s eye as they attempted to bring to justice the Somali warlord responsible for the death of Pakistani peacekeepers.

But Obama cannot do it alone and, so far, neither the American public nor the US Congress seems committed to reconnecting with its moral compass.

The US public is rabidly opposed to paying higher taxes, yet the trend level of taxation (at around 18 of national income) is not sufficient to pay for the core functions of government.

The Israeli public woke up to a justified storm of global outrage.

There is simply no public support for such a move.

Neither the US public nor Congress has proven willing to invest seriously in the instruments of nation building and governance as opposed to military force.
