WAR OF THE WORLDS

United States: all-powerful but powerless

by STEVEN C CLEMONS

     When the Berlin wall fell in 1989 ending the cold war,
     there was an international chance to a build better,
     fairer world. But the United States wanted to do this
     alone, and its decade after the Gulf war as the solo
     superpower actually made the world less safe. Now the US
     has lost its impregnability to external threat and with
     it, 5,000 citizens murdered in a single day; it responded
     by declaring endless war on terrorism. The diffuse
     terrorist threat does require patient, daily combat, but
     did that have to mean war against Afghanistan?
