"Critics of U.S. global dominance should pause to consider the alternative. If the United States retreats from its hegemonic role, who would supplant it? Not Europe, not China, not th Muslim world--and certainly not the United Nations. Unfortunately, the alternative to a single superpower is not a multilateral utopia, but the anarchic nightmare of a new Dark Age." (FOREIGN POLICY) The author discusses the balance of world power and examines the need for superpowers.
