Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev criticized the United States, and current President George W. Bush in particular, on Friday for sowing disorder across the world by seeking to build an empire.
Gorbachev, who presided over the break-up of the Soviet Union, said Washington had sought to build an empire after the Cold War ended but had failed to understand the changing world.

I'd say, after the dismal failure of how American handled 911 along with nation building, that Gorbachev is right on the money.
(Failure is defined as 'failing to preform.' In the wake of two failed wars and the confusing nature of the war on terror, it appears that failure is too kind a word. Clusterphuk is more like it.)
