The reference to Andrew Bacevich is obscure and, I suspect, confused. He is the leading critic of the militarism that infects the us like a virus. See his superb “The New American Militarism.”
Moreover, in “The Limits of Power,” he gives a powerful argument for the futility of military power to solve any of our real problems, and in particular the problem of terrorism.
“Utopian” has become a synonym for: “Doesn’t think we should continue to act like fools.”
