Indeks : p.251 - 255 This book recounts two such pacts. The first, without parallel in this country's foreign policy tradition, came in the form of the Bush Doctrine, which looked to exploit America's military superiority over any conceivable rivals, and the ideological primacy of the appeal of open market capitalsm -globalization- and liberal democracy, so as to dominate the international system for generations to come. Here was a pact with the Devil if ever there was one. As the subtitle of this book puts it, in Washington's bid for world supremacy lay the betrayal of American promise. The second pact occured when neoliberal hawks, who had for the most part not initially supported this Republican president, nontheless made common cause with him.
