le Times du 17 d\u00e9cembre<\/a>, le chroniqueur Matthew Parris met en \u00e9vidence les tr\u00e8s graves probl\u00e8mes que rencontrent non seulement les USA, mais le capitalisme. Parris s’attache essentiellement \u00e0 l’\u00e9volution catastrophique (pour l’influence des USA) de la situation dans les deux Am\u00e9riques: au Canada, et les maladresses am\u00e9ricaines contribuent \u00e0 aggraver d’une fa\u00e7on inqui\u00e9tantes les relations entre les deux voisins anglo-saxons ; dans l’Am\u00e9rique Latine, o\u00f9 la politique anti-am\u00e9ricaine triomphe partout, autour de Chavez et du bloc Mercosur (Br\u00e9sil et Argentine).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tParris propose un premier constats: \u00ab Those of us who have been wary about America’s emergence as an unchallenged superpower tend to direct our criticisms towards what we call bullying. We have constructed an image of a neo-imperialist giant which does what it pleases, throws its weight around, tramples on weaker nations, and generally gets its way.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb But the trouble is that while America aims to lead the free world, all over that world American foreign policy is going seriously adrift. Objectives are being stymied. Costs are mounting. Fruits are not coming in. The really serious objection to Bushite foreign policy is not that America is trying to strong-arm the rest of the world; it is that America is not succeeding.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tPlus loin, Parris met bien les choses au point, \u00e9cartant la rh\u00e9torique facile de la seule responsabilit\u00e9 de Bush pour bien mettre en \u00e9vidence que la politique en question est am\u00e9ricaniste, et bas\u00e9e sur des ambitions am\u00e9ricanistes consid\u00e9rables et fondamentales, et non pas sur les seuls objectifs farfelus d’extr\u00e9mistes exalt\u00e9s: \u00ab All across the Americas, Washington’s foreign policy strategy is in trouble. I say Washington’s because, though George W. Bush’s tactics and tone are very much his own, much of the strategy must be common to all US presidencies. The strategy is to seek and succour in the Americas a growing community of nations that are democratic, free-market, open to trade with and investment from America, and friendly to Washington.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLa conclusion de Parris est tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e, dans la mesure o\u00f9 elle pose la question de la possibilit\u00e9 que cette politique am\u00e9ricaniste, qui est appuy\u00e9e sur l’argument fondamental de la correspondance entre le capitalisme et la d\u00e9mocratie, soit ainsi appuy\u00e9e sur une pr\u00e9misse fausse: \u00ab It isn’t working. Reasons why that matters for Washington <\/em>[…] should also include worries about America’s image as a moral leader for capitalist democracy. And I am afraid that it is in the tension between those last two words that the core of the problem resides. Capitalism isn’t winning elections, and Washington preaches both.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Those of us who also preach both (as I do) need to look hard at this contradiction. I do not know how it should be resolved.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
