L’article de Rupert Cornwell dans The Independent<\/em> du jour (acc\u00e8s payant<\/a>) fait partie d’une exasp\u00e9ration g\u00e9n\u00e9rale qui appara\u00eet comme la forme principale de commentaire des derniers \u00e9v\u00e9nements isra\u00e9lo-libanais. Il ne s’agit pas d’anti-am\u00e9ricanisme (Cornwell n’est certainement pas anti-am\u00e9ricaniste) mais d’une r\u00e9action furieuse \u00e0 mesure qu’apparaissent sous nos yeux les cons\u00e9quences de la politique vaniteuse et irresponsable de Washington depuis le 11 septembre 2001 (et auparavant, certes).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDeux r\u00e9flexions s’encha\u00eenent dans ces commentaires : le constat que les diverses crises qui s’empilent aujourd’hui sont la cons\u00e9quence directe de la politique am\u00e9ricaniste et de la pr\u00e9tention de Washington \u00e0 r\u00e9gir unilat\u00e9ralement la politique mondiale ; le constat que ces crises se d\u00e9roulent au nez et \u00e0 la barbe de Washington, sans que les Am\u00e9ricains ne puissent rien faire, ni pour les emp\u00eacher ni pour les contenir. La politique de puissance suivie ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es d\u00e9bouche sur le constat de la compl\u00e8te impuissance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’importance de ces commentaires est d\u00e9sormais leur vulgarisation, plus encore que les constats qu’ils font. Les crises actuelles sont en train de transformer compl\u00e8tement l’image des USA : d’une puissance irr\u00e9sistible et brutale \u00e0 une puissance faussaire, d\u00e9couvrant des faiblesses extraordinaires et une vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 tr\u00e8s grande.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tVoici les deux premiers paragraphes du commentaire de Cornwell :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab Iraq burns, Afghanistan boils, and a nuclear North Korea tests its missiles with impunity. Iran, meanwhile, mockingly plays on both chess boards simultaneously, refusing to give up its nuclear ambitions, while employing its Hizbollah surrogates to lure Israel into a new Middle East war. Truly, it is hard to know where to begin in the hunt for famous last words uttered in the past six years by the rulers in this imagined seat of global empire on the Potomac river where I live.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Do we start with George Bush, with his line \u00a0\u00bbsometimes a show of force by one side can really clarify things\u00a0\u00bb at his first National Security Council meeting on 30 January 2001? That nostrum of statecraft, after all of 10 days in power, was delivered to an alarmed Secretary of State Colin Powell, after the President had declared that it wasn’t worth America continuing to waste time on the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Well, we’ve got the show of force right now. Clarification, alas, is quite another matter.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tBien entendu, cette Fin de la Pax Americana<\/em> (titre de l’article de Cornwell) n’en a pas fini de faire sentir ses effets. Les crises \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition auxquelles nous assistons et le d\u00e9dain affich\u00e9 par les acteurs de ces crises pour l’influence de Washington ne vont cesser de s’amplifier.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
