though for many it was McCarthyism or the involvement in Vietnam, for other (the Long) Civil Rights (War), for some the assassinations of the 60s, "Watergate", for others eg "The College of the Americas",...onto the financial malpractices of the 2000s, and kindred international and domestic, but it is perhaps an irreversible change in attitudes, when the USA's "moral authority and leadership" is undermined, undermined now by what will be a tendency to skepticism, to disbelief...not the benefit, but the malefit, of the doubt, influenced by such as "secret rendition", "torture" in other words, permanent detainees in "Guantanamo", and most recent and influential(?)...the spying of the USA secret agencies on apparently everyone in the world possible.
the demise of the USA both domestically and internationally has been predicted from various views, historical contexts and times, since the War of Indepence...but the loss of American moral authority, seems now to be an irreversible global pandemic.
who will simply believe and trust again?
