It is reasonable to use the word "arrogant" to describe the USA. Before the Iraqi war, Uncle Sam claimed: "With such a powerful military, what shall we do other than launch a war?"

Facing staunch French opposition, Uncle Sam flew into a rage, calling the French military "poorly equipped" and "not knowing how to fight a war." When Britain was contemplating whether to join forces with the US, Uncle Sam bragged that "the US could launch the war single-handedly."

Labeled as "useless," Europeans slapped the label "Arrogant unilateralism" on Uncle Sam. Since the US and Europe are allies, the way Uncle Sam treated them can only be referred to as "home affairs."

And the problems continued to persist on an even larger scale as the US made it clear that the way to deal with the Iraqi issue was a test to the United Nations. Such a claim is rather puzzling. The UN should be testing the US to determine whether it will adhere to the UN Charter and international law. Why is the US testing to see whether the UN is following the American arrangement?

On April 15 the US military announced that major military operations in Iraq have come to an end. But things did not end there. The US is causing another upset. According to the British media, a former senior official of the US intelligence said in a speech that the US was aiming to make Syria, Iran and North Korea feel uneasy, and a failure to behave will make them the next US targets.

It has been reported that the White House has listed Syria as a "terrorist country" and that the US reserves all options against Syria, including a military option -- shocking the whole world.

Some people in the US have expressed their concern over this American arrogance. Before the war in Iraq broke out, former US president Jimmy Carter pointed out in an article that the international community has shown sympathy and friendship towards the US after the terrorist attack on 9.11. But, currently, increasing American unilateralism has made international trust in the US dip to its lowest level ever.

American historian Paul Kennedy fears that the victory in Iraq could make the US even more arrogant and a French expert believes that the current crisis in the world is the "US crisis," not the "Iraqi crisis." According to former US president Bill Clinton, current US actions indicate that the 9.11 incident has made Americans feel that they have the right to force the whole world to interpret the future in an American way, and if other nations fail to follow, then they should go to hell. Clinton also predicted that the US would be sure to learn to make concessions as it cannot kill or capture all antagonists.
