Has anyone ever seen the show Penn & Teller? They have a great episode with commentary about world peace and the women of Code Pink.

The Fear:


Uh oh! Somebody penetrated the security perimeter! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

And then the vaunting:


they start screaming USA USA USA

Rothbard on Garet Garett's insight into the peculiarly American flavor of the Imperial trait of simultaneous "fear and vaunting":


From Orwell?s time to the present day, the United States has fulfilled his analysis or prophecy by engaging in campaigns of unremitting hatred and fear of the Soviets, including such widely trumpeted themes (later quietly admitted to be incorrect) as "missile gap" and "windows of vulnerability." What Garet Garrett perceptively called "a complex of vaunting and fear" has been the hallmark of the American as well as of previous empires:[3] the curious combination of vaunting and braggadocio that insists that a nation-state?s military might is second to none in any area, combined with repeated panic about the intentions and imminent actions of the "empire of evil" that is marked as the Enemy. It is the sort of fear and vaunting that makes Americans proud of their capacity to "overkill" the Russians many times and yet agree enthusiastically to virtually any and all increases in the military budget for mightier weapons of mass destruction. Senator Ralph Flanders (Republican, Vermont) pin*pointed this process of rule through fear when he stated during the Korean War: "Fear is felt and spread by the Department of Defense in the Pentagon. In part, the spreading of it is purposeful. Faced with what seem to be enor*mous armed forces aimed against us, we can scarcely expect the Department of Defense to do other than keep the people in a state of fear so that they will be prepared without limit to furnish men and munitions."[4]
