America today is a torn country in the process of evolving into an existential and, most likely, terminal and losing struggle to overcome the historical, psychological, and anthropological centrifugal forces of disintegration. Under such circumstances any talk about the national anything, least of all interest, of the United States is an exercise in futility. The American interest today, as it was to a large degree over the last hundred years, is the interest of corporations, foreign and internal ethnic and religious lobbies, and other special interests, none of which really cares of American nation, whether it exists or perishes with the latter being the most likely outcome.
