'Under Bush, America has become a hegemon with a chip on its
shoulder, at once belligerent and xenophobic. The United States has been
seceding from a new world order of interdependence that, until recently,
it had helped construct. At the very moment when the world's peoples have
recognised the need to build global institutions to deal with a global
economy and environment, with globalised crime and weapons proliferation
and stateless terrorism, the United States has arrogated to itself the
right to ignore and undermine those parts of the emerging global
architecture that fail to please its eye'
