The fate of Iraq is a  sideshow, the terrorist threat is a red herring, and the radical Islamists' dream  of a worldwide jihad against the West is a fantasy, but the attempt to revive Pax  Americana is real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e American military power is not limitless, and the other big powers  will not stand for US military domination of the world. They don't buy the cover  story about the 'terrorist threat,' but they don't want a fight either. They are  all on hold for the moment, hoping that America will remember its commitment to the  United Nations, the rule of law, and multilateralism. If it does not, then the drift  back into alliances, balance-of-power politics and military confrontations will begin.  Ten years from now, an American-led alliance that includes India and occupies much  of the Middle East could be facing a European alliance led by France, Germany, and  Russia, AND a hostile, heavily armed China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIn Future Tense,\u003c\/i\u003e Gwynne Dyer's brilliant  follow up to bestselling \u003ci\u003eIgnorant Armies\u003c\/i\u003e, he analyzes how the world made  its way to the brink of disaster, and describes how we may all slide over the edge.

It is not  too late, but the clock is running.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219759919359,"sku":"9780771029783","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780771029783_s600x595.jpg?v=1782147946","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780771029783","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
