A fost, \u00eentr-adev\u0103r momentul de apogeu al puterii americane, dup\u0103 care crespusculul a \u00eenceput, treptat, s\u0103 se instaleze. Odat\u0103 cu el, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 se schimbe \u015fi configura\u0163ia zonelor de putere ale lumii, iar for\u0163ele emergente au prins s\u0103 se afirme din ce \u00een ce mai categoric, nu doar \u00een plan economic.<\/p>\n
Paul Starobin, un jurnalist cu vechi state de corespondent de pres\u0103, analizeaz\u0103 din punct de vedere istoric \u00eentreaga evolu\u0163ie a SUA \u00een ultimul deceniu \u015fi se plaseaz\u0103 \u00een unghiul unei concluzii lipsite de echivoc: America, alt\u0103dat\u0103 puterea dominant\u0103 a lumii, “centrala electric\u0103 unde erau generate idealurile \u015fi apoi erau r\u0103sp\u00e2ndite \u00een lumea \u00eentreag\u0103”, a ajuns la cap\u0103tul ascenden\u0163ei sale globale.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prezent, America este obligat\u0103 s\u0103 se confrunte cu istoria, iar dezintegrarea puterii ei se reflect\u0103 \u00een \u00eentreaga gam\u0103 de influen\u0163e militare, politice, economice \u015fi culturale. \u00cen cazul componentei militare, de pild\u0103, deteriorarea for\u0163ei armate este ilustrat\u0103 de neputin\u0163a de a ob\u0163ine victorii decisive asupra bandelor de insurgen\u0163i din din Irak \u015fi din zonele tribale ale de la grani\u0163ele Pakistanului \u015fi Afganistanului.<\/p>\n
Viziunea lui Starobin nu este \u00eens\u0103 una mizerabilist\u0103, pentru c\u0103, spune el, “lumea post-America nu trebuie neap\u0103rat s\u0103 fie una dezastruoas\u0103 pentru americani, ba chiar ar putea deveni una eliberatoare”. Partea cea mai interesant\u0103 a c\u0103r\u0163ii \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 prevad\u0103 ce va urma mai departe, dup\u0103 ce SUA \u00ee\u015fi va transfera o parte din responsabilit\u0103\u0163ile de lider, dar \u015fi de gardian al ordinii mondiale. Printre ipotezele lui Starobin se num\u0103r\u0103 haosul global, domina\u0163ia Chinei \u015fi, \u00eentr-o viziune mai radical\u0103, o epoc\u0103 a ora\u015felor-stat sau a unei civiliza\u0163ii universale, culmin\u00e2nd cu instaurarea unui guvern mondial.<\/p>\n
