It is easy to see now - the way in which the cookie of the American global order will soon crumble: (1) the Arab uprising will soon sweep away the longstanding and crucial underpinnings of the American world order in most, if not all its territories; (2) the collapse of the old neocolonial elite regime of the Pakistani state is imminent, as it is already in a state of advanced decrepitude and dissolution - and is under insurgent attack also..... the popular reaction to the current "Raymond Davis affair" may hasten this process, or some other unforeseen political or economic event or situation may do so. But like a termite infested doorframe, it is ready anytime to crumble at a mere flick - whatever that may be. Apart from Israel, Pakistan is America's main stooge in the world - a Muslim stooge albeit, and one which is far more important than other US Muslim stooges like Saudi Arabia or Egypt; and (3) NATO is all but defeated in Afghanistan, and is struggling to maintain its daily grip there after a decade of fighting.....so the situation is really grave. Just as Afghanistan bled the USSR to death, it appears that it will have the same effect on its rival, and now lone, global power......
The American order is just the pinnacle of the larger European political and economic supremacy that has lorded it over the world for the past 500 years now, dominated by England......reasonably speaking, the American Global Order is basically a latter day extension of the British Empire; it is a new British Empire that rose after the old declined from 1945. And so when it goes, the larger European order it actually represents will also follow suit. For all intents and purposes, I think that its time is now over. We must keep in mind the good things it has bequeathed mankind, and transfer that legacy effectively to the better new order in human affairs that will soon replace it.
