The introduction to this journal issue discusses increased US militarism in the 21st century. US history is composed of military conquest, territorial aggrandizement, & coercive social hegemony. Today, the hypocritical US preaches international order, democracy, & human rights, while conducting precision strike military campaigns in Grenada, Nicaragua, Haiti, Serbia, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Panama, & Iraq; exporting weapons to "unfriendly" nations; stockpiling & using weapons of mass destruction; & testing more nuclear weapons than any other country. A study of globalist policies of William J. Clinton, continued by George W. Bush, shows US military might is flexed also through its control over international funding bodies, neoliberal ideology, & militarized drug wars. It is argued that unexpected, negative, & insidious consequences of US militarism include terrorism & increased authoritarianism from other countries. J. Sadler
