Abstract

The great present danger, the nameless danger that has replaced communism is that the United States, the worlds dominant power on whom the maintenance of international peace and the support of liberal principles depends, will shrink its responsibilities and allow that the international order that it created and sustains to collapse. The 1990s were a squandered decade for the American foreign policy; something regrettable if one recalls that 10 years is the time Hitler needed to become a lethal threat for the world. Leadership, regime change and inspiration on the tenets that guided American foreign policy through the most successful phases of the Cold war whose are the ingredients of the recipe on which the current foreign policy of the Bush administration is based as already designed in 2000 by two of the most infl uential neoconservative thinkers.
