"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.
