Dominating the world
Two years ago, the idea that after Iraq, the US would have no problem imposing its armed order to Syria, Iran, North Korea, was dominating.
But now, after the Iraqi catastrophe, whar appears is that America won't any soon run the risk of invading a sovereign state. This is why those countries are now not hesitating to challenge the US.
A power that evidently cannot be used, isn't a real power. Proof when rogue states multiply provocations.
