Description

The attack by terrorists on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon continues to impact on global politics, drawing them in the direction of a military endgame commentators are refusing to contemplate. Event follows event with a rhythm that is increasingly predictable. A humiliated and fearful superpower is ready to strike wherever and whomever it deems it must, with forces that dwarf those of all other nations. Frustrated by a combination of the elusive terrorist organization and the incompetence of its own intelligence sources, the US administration is trigger happy and hyper-aggressive. It now has major disagreements with a key member of NATO, Germany, over the desirability of war in Iraq. And it treads a fine line with France and Russia over the same strategy. It now openly argues, with certain allies tagging along, for the right to make pre-emptive strikes against the nations it so chooses. September 11 heralds the end of a state of affairs that has, for four centuries, centred the international order of the community of nations on principles of no first strike. Not only does our only superpower deny, in the name of freedom, all such guarantees to its world neighbours, it has also deserted any pretence of respect for liberal freedoms that lie at the core of conceptions of the modern state. It has argued for, and now quietly pursues, a regimen of torture against prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to whom it denies all legal rights in defiance of international law. It imprisons those deemed to be suspects for up to a year without any rights of legal due process. And it is about to introduce home security arrangements that make most notions of a surveillance society seem benign.
