Frankly, I believe American hegemony is "no more" and internationally the 21st century will be dominated by others. As an American, I'm still trying to come to terms with this and how best to adjust.

My country's use of torture only accelerated America's fall. America's decline was coming this century, the only question was how soon? Bush and his policies advanced happening significantly.

Re: American hegemony (4.00 / 2)

Well quite a few people predicted it, but got their timescales somewhat mangled.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
