Unilateralism, as a major new cornerstone of US foreign policy, is the central issue as we struggle, and in my view lose, our place in the world. This issue came to the fore in the aftermath of 9/11 when Cheney did a tour of "allies" to test drive the new policy -- it was couched as our new approach to regime change and foreshadowed the Bush Doctrine and the "either you're with us or you're against us" posture towards allies. It was the pivotal issue in our half-hearted approach to gaining UN support before the war, and it is the pivotal issue in our frustrated attempts to force other countries to fall into line under our command, without the UN as the convening agency. This issue of unilateralism will make or break foreign policy -- and in my view the damage is extensive and rapidly undermining our leadership role in the world.
