As Mahatma Gandhi famously remarked when asked his opinion of western
civilisation, it would be a good idea. Since George Bush's father
inaugurated his new world order a decade ago,
the                                 US, supported by its British ally,
bestrides the world like a colossus. Unconstrained by any superpower rival
or system of global governance, the US giant has rewritten the global
financial and trading system in its own interest; ripped up a string
of   treaties it finds inconvenient; sent troops to every corner of
the                                    globe; bombed Afghanistan, Sudan,
Yugoslavia and Iraq without troubling the United Nations; maintained a
string of murderous embargos against recalcitrant regimes; and recklessly
thrown                                     its weight behind Israel's
34-year illegal military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as the
Palestinian intifada rages.
