SINGAPORE - Are
prospects for global stability and prosperity improving or
deteriorating? With enlightenment and progress in some parts of the
world accompanied by atavism and stagnation elsewhere, this is not an
easy question. But we can gain greater purchase on it by considering
three other questions.
The first is whether
the United States will regain its standing as a source of moral
leadership. Despite its flaws, America did provide such leadership,
beginning at the end of World War II. But the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, changed everything.
