OK, well, we certainly appear to be seeing a sea change in U.S. foreign policy. In the little over a month between the attacks and today we see the Chinese and U.S. leaders standing in solidarity on a mutual defense issue, while a top Taiwanese leader is turned away. This tops the epitome of the Kissinger/Nixon foreign policy achievements, which were years in the making, in just one month. Not only that, but the Russians are on the same side of the issue. Of course, it helps that we are not current making distinctions between terrorists and freedom fighters. The world's political fault lines are being redrawn, and Huntington's Clash of Cultures appears to have been a pretty good forecast. But is this happening too fast? Will we wake up with a foreign policy hangover when the morning comes?
