Our pre-occupation with Iraq reflects the decline of the United States as a world power. China is powering forward at a breathtaking pace while our gaze is turned towards Iraq. A meteorite did hit in the Pacific, and it did cause a tsunami, but our eyes were fixed on an irrelevant tin-pot dictator. For a moment in time the US was supreme -- what is surprising is how short-lived that moment seems destined to be. George Bush declared the UN "irrelevant" at the very moment in history when he was about to make the United States increasingly "irrelevant". If you look hard at September 11 you can see the highwater mark. Terrorism will not destroy us -- third-rate politicians will be our undoing.
