Reply #65: US hegemony [View All]

[Gimel]

"They see the writing on the wall as far as US
ability to enforce order in the region"

If this is a motivation behind the peace gestures that you've mentioned, how does this reduce the US influence? It is because of awareness of US ability to get out of the mud of indecision, so to speak, and to act, that has brought about increased activity on the part of nations that were previously interested in opposition to one another.

In fact, is not the US influence, if not hegemony, actually increasing in the region of the Middle East?
