Nostalgia for "Easy Hegemony"

Letting Go Of Global Hegemony (Andrew Sullivan) from The Dish
"... this analysis misses one core fact: Americans, in polling, really do not want to be policing the world ... They both want withdrawal from the world but feel nostalgic for the heady post-Cold War days of easy hegemony, a budget surplus and a global reputation not stained by military occupations and torture. Robert Kagan had a shrewd column a month ago on this strange confluence of a president pursuing popular policies and becoming unpopular as a result."
