Why We Fight (2005)
Directed by Eugene Jarecki
“It Is Nowhere Written That The American Empire Goes On Forever”
Documentary, History · 1h 38m
Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.
