Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy is a book by Noam Chomsky, first published in 2006, in which Chomsky argues that the United States is becoming a “failed state”, and thus a danger to its own people and the world.
Overview
The first chapter, titled "Stark, Dreadful, Inescapable" alluding to the famous Russell–Einstein Manifesto, first argues that the US foreign and military policies after the Cold War greatly aggravated the danger of a nuclear war. Chomsky then recounts various facts about the war on Iraq and argues the United States specifically sought regime change, rather than the stated destruction of Iraq's WMD program.
