<Don't fool yourself>

Let's look ahead. It is 2009. The US has withdrawn from Iraq, leaving the Middle East still seething. President Bush could not get re-elected in 2004 and President Kerry was a one term President. The unceasing credit expansions since the late 1990s and the lengthy attempt by Fed Chairman Greenspan to stave off the inescapable US recession rolled President Kerry under. The NATO Alliance is no more. The European Union, in stages, simply took the parts that belonged to themselves and disassembled them politically, militarily and strategically, leaving the remaining US military forces in Europe as mostly forlorn looking color guards. Eventually, with a few fanfares, the United States withdrew even these. The Middle East debacle and the retreat has torn apart the US political establishment that has held forth ever since the end of WW II.

Now, inside the US, two main intellectual and political forces are contending for supremacy. One new ideological force is in fact very old. It advocates a return to the original US Constitution and the foreign policy which followed from it of no entangling foreign alliances. The other still clings to the forlorn hope of regaining, though external wars, the near global empire that the United States once had.
