Super Duper Power

'The fact that it took ten days and at least a thousand dead on the streets of Libyaâ??s cities before President Obama finally mustered the courage to call for Muammar â??mad dogâ? Gaddafi to step down is highly embarrassing for the worldâ??s only superpower, and emblematic of a deer-in-the-headlights approach to world leadership. Washington seems incapable of decisive decision-making on foreign policy at the moment, a far cry from the days when it swept entire regimes from power, and defeated Americaâ??s enemies with deep-seated conviction and an unshakeable drive for victory. - Nile Gardiner'
