"I sometimes wonder whether this humbling of America and the destruction of its machinations on the world stage is desirable for lasting world peace."

The national suicide of America is so far advanced that the question is not that it will be diminished, but when.
It is an ultimate irony of World War II that while Germany and Japan learned to live with the world, use diplomacy as their primary means of achieving national goals, and balance the needs of their people with the lust for power of their leaders, the US and Soviet Union learned only raw military power. Their power struggle eventually bankrupted the Soviet Union and America's love of military power is rapidly bankrupting it.
There is still a chance that the US will attack Iran. Dick Cheney is quite insane, and Shrub Bush listens to him.
