The call of ethnicity, nationalism, religion, faith and history pulled apart the greatest of all the ideological empires, the Soviet Empire and the Soviet Union, that "prison house of nations."...................................As the Old Republic trudges to its death, less and less do we hear that incessant blather about the American Empire, "the world's last superpower" and "our unipolar moment."

The world fragments in someways (break up of Soviet Empire etc....), and unites in others ways (European Union).
With the current attention on the "Mexican Invasion" it's no wonder we in the USA feel a little insecure, conquered and divided by a language on one front. Challenged by religion internally (religious right) and also abroad in the Middle East (Islam), second and third fronts.
