<you support the current efforts to establish order and democracy in Iraq, which is now our main policy toward Iraq. So what are you referring to when you say: So long as our foreign policy remains the same..?> If you focus on foreign policy for a moment, the essence of our policy is unchanged -- the US see itself as the world's sole superpower, and as a consequence sees itself as sufficiently powerful that it can act unilaterally whenever and wherever it sees fit. The US sees little need to strengthen the international institutions and institutional arrangements that might constrain its action as a superpower. So long as that is our policy, we are a substantially weakened country with a greatly diminished role to exert global leadership.
