The decade that followed the 9/11 attack was marked by wars waged under the flag of ridding the world from terrorists. An ex-chief of staff to US Secretary of State Colin Powell says America deceives it is exceptional and powerful.“We seem to think that we are exceptional, so exceptional that we don’t have to think about other people,” says Lawrence Wilkerson. This position can be maintained only by a strong state, strong as Rome in its day, notes Wilkerson. “But we are no longer that powerful,” he admits.The reckoning is coming for the US, believes Wilkerson. “The reckoning when we are just another country in the world. And that day is coming.” “This is going to be a hard time for Washington, because we no longer going to have the money, we no longer going to have the economic might, we no longer going to have the military might,” he explains.
