Superpower: American military dominance

The succession of George W Bush to the US presidency and new proposals for 'national missile defense' have raised important questions about the role of the United States in maintaining international peace and security in the 21st century. In this issue we look at the awesome power of the American military in the world where the 'enemy' is no longer easy to identify, but where civil wars and terrorism abound and some 30 countries have acquired ballistic missile technology.
