Theodore Roosevelt is well known as an imperialist. The common understanding is both too weak and too strong. Too weak, because Roosevelt idealized an imperialism that could last forever in civilizing savages. Too strong, because Roosevelt prepared the American-occupied Philippines for independence within a generation. This article analyzes Roosevelt's philosophy of self-government and reinterprets his Philippines policy in light of the philosophy. Roosevelt emerges as a reluctant anti-imperialist-an imperialist by desire but an anti-imperialist in governance. His imperialist ambitions were thwarted by America's ideals of self-government and its democratic political system, channeled through the powers of Congress and the process of regular elections. At a crest of imperial opportunity,...

In 1896, the English poet Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called "White Man's Burden." In it, Kipling warned of the cost involved in the U.S. building an empire abroad, which in that era meant the Philippines, which we had "won" in the Spanish-American War. Imperialists within the United States understood the phrase "white man's burden" to mean that the U.S. should colonize and rule other nations for its benefit (i.e. nation building today).

Just as the anti-imperialists railed against wars in Cuba and the Philippines by arguing that America, in crushing insurrection, would become the very thing it abhorred, just as citizens worried about the rise of a militaristic American totalitarianism during the country's "cold" war against the Soviets, so [Milton S. Mayer] believed that America's struggle against the forces of fascism would turn us into fascists. It would have to, he argued, because war is fascism. "Democracy," he writes, "is an order in which the state exists for men, so Fascism is an order in which men exist for the state. And in no condition to which men submit do they exist for the state so completely as in war." Mayer believed that any war conducted by a democratic country is a stab in the heart of that country's...

A close reading of Linn's work shows that the true American way of war has been one of adaptation and flexibility, and not a rigid ideological attachment to seeking out the next Napoleonic battle of Austerlitz.3 Regrettably, the American Army's new way of war, otherwise called population-centric counterinsurgency, has become the only operational tool in the Army's repertoire to deal with problems of insurgency and instability throughout the world. General Stanley McChrystal's recently released command guidance to forces in Afghanistan employs all of the dictums of population-centric counterinsurgency and confirms this strategy of tactics.\n In other words, they did not see military operations as ends in themselves but instead as a means to achieve policy objectives. [...] they realize...
