Abstract
The challenges of the twenty-first century are still shrouded in the lingering legacy of its immediate predecessor. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, Karanchi to Ukraine, and Iran to Israel we find the footprints of a monstrous reality that causes mayhem, terror, and uncertainty. The rumors of a post-American world may well be true, but the future of history is still a conjectural exercise.
