Some sources on "Pax Americana" -- a topic introduced 
by Cyrus in [8481].   The authors do not agree, in general, 
with his assessment that the system of Pax Americana has 
collapsed:

* "Pax Americana"  with Michael Goldfarb:
http://www.insideout.org/documentaries/pax/
(a popular history of PaxAm.  Colorful graphics.  By no means 
a Marxist analysis.)

* "the president's real goal in Iraq" by Jay Bookman.  
A bit old (late September, 02) but controversial op-ed piece.  
Argues that the "real goal" is Pax Americana:

* "the perils of pax americana" by Gabriel Kolko
(published late January, 03):
http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0128-05.htm

* "pax americana alert" by Steve Fine (October, 02):
http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strategy/Discussion/2002-10-26PaxAmericana.html
Speculative and 'partisan' but does indicate other sources.

In solidarity, Jerry
