THE LONELY SUPERPOWER - Foreign Affairs Magazine March/Apr 99

Samuel P. Huntington

The unipolar moment has passed. Even old allies stubbornly resist
American demands, while many other nations view U.S. policy and
ideals as openly hostile to their own. Washington is blind to the fact
that it no longer enjoys the dominance it had at the end of the Cold
War. It must relearn the game of international politics as a major
power, not a superpower, and make compromises. U.S.
policymaking should reflect rational calculations of power rather
than a wish list of arrogant, unilateralist demands.

BULLY OF THE FREE WORLD
Garry Wills

Since World War II, America has styled itself the "leader of the free
world." But to get its way, the United States has ignored the
American public and used covert action, sabotage, and threats
against hapless foreign countries. This is not true leadership. To lead
in the 21st century, the United States will have to learn to
acknowledge the world outside its borders and listen to others'
opinions, act in partnership with other nations, and get used to
persuading allies rather than browbeating them. Given its penchant
for secrecy and long history of avoiding "entangling alliances,"
America does not seem up to the challenge.
