Bush Balkanizes the world by Jerry Mazza

Paradoxically, Bush & Company’s relentless push for world hegemony seems to be Balkanizing the world, that is, splintering countries, regions, even zip codes, into smaller units, which are more hostile to each other though ethnically more homogenous.

Again at home, by illegally spying on citizens and insisting that illegality is a presidential power, by enacting the USAPATRIOT Act, by waging war on contrived evidence, we Balkanize pieces of America, creating those who blindly support and those who consciously resist.
