US Imperialism (Letter to the editor,frontline,Volume 24 - Issue 08 :: Apr. 21-May. 04, 2007)

The U.S. has emerged as the global leader, taking advantage of its unparalleled military and economic strength in the aftermath of the dismemberment of the Soviet Union in 1989-91. Apart from adopting discriminatory trade policies that favour the West, the U.S. has inflicted much suffering on developing countries, especially those in West Asia. But now West Asia's resistance and the resurgence of regional powers such as China, Russia and India are threatening to counter the U.S hegemony. Bhaskar J. Nath The Sentinel, Guwahati
