The World Order Isn't Going to Continue Like This

I feel that the post-9-11 wars are an empire that is sensing its own imminent decline. The similar to the story of Saddam is that oh yeah, maybe we can work with the West and then you realize what that means. It means no, you're their vassals and if they tell you to put your foot pedal to the metal and drive straight into a wall, you're going to do it with a smile on your face or we're going to cool your ass in somebody who will. We really live through this transition time.
