Decline and Fall - How not to act like a great power.

Posted by Matt in November 18th, 2006

AMERICA IS FINISHED as a great power. Not because it no longer possesses the resources, but because it has lost the will. That was brought home to me on both ends of a recent trip through London’s Heathrow airport en route to Phoenix.

	Conversations With History: Josef Joffe Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Die Zeit Publisher/Editor Josef Joffe for a discussion of America's role in the 21st century. Starting with an analysis of the differences between a bi-polar and a uni-polar world, Joffe analyzes the roots of anti-Americanism, defines a global strategy for U.S. foreign policy, and offers a unique perspective on the different worlds the U.S. confronts, the Berlin/Berkeley axis—a post modern world of information technology and no possibility of war--and the Beijing/Baghdad axis—a world of nationalism where war is still possible.

	Rising Anti-Americanism This is a question from The Women's International Perspective, based in Monterey, CA. Our News Editor Louise Belfrage has twice addressed growing Anti-Americanism on The Byline Portal. On June 29th she posted a report from Turkey that found the Turkish public dislikes the United States more than any other nation in the world. On September 29th she posted a story from Germany's Deutsche Welle that reported 48 percent of Germans think that the US is a greater threat to world peace than Iran. Louise asks the candidates: As President, how would you approach the continuously rising anti-Americanism? What is your view on the causes of it and what can by done on behalf of the US to better its international moral standing? Tags: antiamericanism, CNN/YouTube, iran, peace, WIP

	Russian Prof. predicts US fall in 2010 As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S. In Moscow, Igor Panarin's Forecasts Are All the Rage; America 'Disintegrates' in 2010 By ANDREW OSBORN Wall Street Journal MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media. In recent weeks, he's been interviewed as much as twice a day about his predictions. "It's a record," says Prof. Panarin. "But I think the attention is going to grow even stronger." Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he...

	Re: Anti-Americanism? Philip, you're just like Jane Fonda ... you're stimulating hatred towards the soldiers. The same hatred generated during the Vietnam Era to the point where the US government has not only forgotten their veterans, but abandoned them. You've made too many generalizations of rape & murder surrounding a few marines and cast that bigotry on every person in the military. Jane's Empty Apology In 2005 - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7349099 What she didn't apologize for: During this visit Fonda also visited American prisoners of war (POWs); and brought back messages from them to their families. When cases of torture began to emerge among POWs returning to the United States, Fonda called the returning POWs "hypocrites and liars". She added, "These were not men who had been tortured. These...

	Anti Americanism http://www.instablogs.com/ Anti Americanism seething in South America They say being anti-American is to be fascist, Nazi, terrorist, communist and anarchist, anyway, there are unpleasant adjectives to describe those who criticize the actions of the United States here in South America.But is that true? In the 60's the dictatorships which proliferated here were all supported by the United States. Those countries that refuse to overthrow if their leftist presidents, were threatened. If a government wanted to invest in land reform, education, public health, distribution of income was immediately strikethrough of communist and should be deposed! The largest democracy in the world shouldn't support other democracies? That is a paradox! More than this, hypocrisy. What United States did in that...

	Montebello US flag burning Dear American watchers, this wasn't the message and the vibe of the demonstration. It wasn't anti-Americanism. This type of activity came when the Communist and Anarchist showed up. They came ready and meant business. Notice how they were saying the US is bad while waiving flags with Mao, Stalin and Lenin on them... Real protesters know your country's being highjacked from the inside, so is ours. That was the actual point of the demonstration itself. Tags: anarchist, burning, communist, flag, montebello, riot, SPP, summit, US
