Your analysis of US foreign policy relies heavily on economic factors - which, interestingly, is almost Marxian. I don't disagree with you fundamentally, but I do think that you give the US policymakers too much credit. Frankly I don't think they are capable of coming up with a coherent strategy that advances their cause, whatever it is. For example, which US national interest has been advanced by the Iraq invasion/occupation?

I am just trying to figure out how the new multipolar world is supposed to work. What will you do when the pirates attack? Give them a political/economic lecture?

Seems to me the opportunity is there for the rest of the world to stand up and knock these pirates out of business.
