However, the way things look today, with the total disregard for the Constitution and for human suffering, the criminal conduct of U.S. aggressive intervention in one sovereign country after the other has opened the eyes of the world community to the enormous ambitions of the U.S. to actually own the world.
From the appalling callousness with which the U.S. conducts its foreign policy, the detailed new laws of limiting civil rights, most clearly as stated in the USA Patriot Act, rushed into law in the wake of 9/11. It was submitted to Congress 13 days after the attack. This Gospel of the Neocons had, however, been prepared long before 9/11[5].
This first Patriot Act was reinforced in 2004 by Patriot Act II, which by some accounts gave the U.S. President dictatorial powers. [6] These Patriot Acts explicitly show a total lack of respect for domestic as well as international law and they make perfectly clear the way the United States sets itself apart from and above the rest of the world.
Its refusal to join the International Criminal Court as well as its lack of respect for the edicts of the International Court of Justice an of the U.N. are just symbols of the utter arrogance with which the U.S. administrations, one after the other, have shown complete contempt for international cooperation. The U.S. takes its unilateral assault on the legal rights of peoples and sovereign nations as a bureaucratic detail that just does not apply to the Empire.
The endgame of the rule of the Empire is now near at hand. The reckless multiple wars in progression and even the day of the beginning of aerial attacks against newly created targets is now in sight. The way the aggression is getting out-of-hand is clearly visible at least to everyone who cares to look and listen, but obviously not to the warmongers themselves. There is clearly-voiced concern from both military and civilian quarters, but nobody in Washington seems to care.
The geo-political truth of the situation
Washington is acting as if its continued supremacy is self-evident, but the administration is standing on quicksand and the fate of the former lone superpower will one day soon be sealed. The political and military leaders can not really fail to see the coming of several other potential big powers who are not going to let Washington get away with its centuries-old hubris and its blindness to current geo-political realities. But they are digging in their heels in a last desperate attempt to fool the world into believing in their invincibility.
Can Washington's megalomania really be short-sighted enough to imagine they can keep Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC)[7] out of the game for power over the dwindling resources on the earth? Can the Washington strategy of having over one thousand military bases or military installations spread all over the world actually have some real effect in keeping the emerging nations from barging into the game for the domination of the world?
