As much as this idea is unreservedly accepted, it appears that it is not fully corroborated by facts on the ground.高达这种想法是毫无保留地接受，看来，这是没有充分证实了的事实。Some of the countries in the (geographic) Balkans that seem to have very serious issues with respect of minority rights are in fact European Union member states.一些国家的（地理）巴尔干地区似乎有非常严重的问题与尊重少数人权利的，其实是在欧洲联盟会员国。

Trying to play an honest broker and stabilize the Balkans, the United States pushed hard to get Macedonia into NATO but could not fight the Greek veto.试图扮演一个诚实的中间人和稳定巴尔干，美国推难求马其顿加入北约，但未能扑灭，希腊否决权。In the process even Washington got entangled in the primitive Balkan nationalisms that simply refuse to accept that people are free to declare as they wish.在这个过程中，甚至华盛顿得到纠缠于原始巴尔干民族主义根本拒绝接受，人是自由申报，因为他们的愿望。

For Greeks, Macedonians are “Slavs” who are stealing Greece’s history by calling themselves Macedonians.为希腊人，马其顿人是“斯拉夫人”谁是窃取希腊的历史是由自称为马其顿人。For the Bulgarians, they are Bulgarian kin who have been brainwashed during Tito’s Yugoslavia, and think they are Macedonian, but are actually Bulgarian.为保加利亚人，他们是谁保健已洗脑期间，铁托的南斯拉夫，并认为他们是马其顿语，但实际上却是保加利亚。

One must be free to declare as he or she wants.一，必须免费申报作为他或她要。The same way the European Union promotes democracy abroad, it needs to do it in its own yard.同样的方式，欧洲联盟在国外促进民主，它需要做的，它在自己的码。If judicial action is not enough and it obviously isn’t, Brussels must take more-decisive political action and demand that its members recognize minorities.如果司法行动是不够的，它显然不是，布鲁塞尔必须采取更果断的政治行动，并要求其成员承认少数。

The most startling and unambiguous revelation was the extent of anti-American groundswell everywhere: among America’s NATO allies, in developing countries, Muslim nations and even in eastern Europe where Americans, only a decade ago, were lionized as much-adulated liberators.最惊人的和毫不含糊的启示是程度的反美groundswell无处不在：美国的北约盟国，在发展中国家，穆斯林国家，甚至在东欧，那里的美国人中，只有10年前，被lionized高达- adulated的解放者。

Yet, even this “embrace of things American” is ambiguous.然而，即便这“怀抱的东西，美国的”是含糊不清的。

To the liberal-minded, the United States of America reified the most noble, lofty, and worthy values, ideals, and causes.以自由的头脑，美国reified最崇高的，崇高的，值得的价值观，理想和原因。It was a dream in the throes of becoming, a vision of liberty, peace, justice, prosperity, and progress.这是一个梦想中的阵痛成为一个梦想的自由，和平，正义，繁荣和进步。Its system, though far from flawless, was considered superior - both morally and functionally - to anything ever conceived by Man.其制度，虽然到目前为止，从完美无瑕，被认为是优越的-无论在道义上和功能-任何以往所设想的男子。

The crux may be that the USA maintains one set of sanctimonious standards at home while egregiously and nonchalantly flouting them far and wide.症结可能会认为，美国保持一组sanctimonious标准，在家里，而egregiously和nonchalantly藐视他们远和广泛。Hence the fervid demonstrations against its military presence in places as disparate as South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia.因此， fervid示威，反对其军事存在的地方，作为不相干的南韩，日本，菲律宾，和沙特阿拉伯。

Americans - officials, scholars, peacemakers, non-government organizations - maintain a colonial state of mind.美国人-官员，学者，和平的缔造者，非政府组织-保持一个殖民地的精神状态。Backward natives come cheap, their lives dispensable, their systems of governance and economies inherently inferior.落后的当地人来便宜，他们的生活可有可无的，他们的治理制度和经济固有的劣势。The white man’s burden must not be encumbered by the vagaries of primitive indigenous jurisprudence.白皮书人的负担，绝不能作保，由变幻莫测的原始土著的判例。Hence America’s fierce resistance to and indefatigable obstruction of the International Criminal Court.因此，美国的激烈抵抗，以和不知疲倦的阻挠，国际刑事法院。

Despite its instinctual unilateralism, the United States is never averse to exploiting multilateral institutions to its ends.尽管其本能的单边主义，美国是从来没有反感，利用多边机构，其目的。It is the only shareholder with a veto power in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), by now widely considered to have degenerated into a long arm of the American administration.它是唯一的股东，与否决权在国际货币基金（ IMF ） ，现在人们普遍认为，已沦为一个长期武装的美国政府。The United Nations Security Council, raucous protestations aside, has rubber-stamped American martial exploits from Panama to Iraq.联合国安理会， raucous抗议之外，已橡皮图章美国武术利用从巴拿马到伊拉克。
It seems as though America uses - and thus, perforce, abuses - the international system for its own, ever changing, ends.看来，虽然美国的用途-因此， p erforce，滥用职权-国际体系中为自己的，不断变化的，完。International law is invoked by it when convenient - ignored when importune.国际法律是引用它在方便的时候-时忽略i mportune。
In short, America is a bully.在短期内，美国是一个欺负。It is a law unto itself and it legislates on the fly, twisting arms and breaking bones when faced with opposition and ignoring the very edicts it promulgates at its convenience.这是一个法律所不欲，本身和它在立法上飞，扭武器和破骨时，面临着反对和漠视很颁布法令，它在其方便。Its soldiers and peacekeepers, its bankers and businessmen, its traders and diplomats are its long arms, an embodiment of this potent and malignant mixture of supremacy and contempt.它的士兵和维和人员，其银行家和商人，其贸易商和外交官是其长长的手臂，体现了这个动力十足的恶性混合优势和蔑视。
But why is America being singled out?但为什么是美国正在挑选出来呢？
In politics and even more so in geopolitics, double standards and bullying are common.在政治上，更在地缘政治的双重标准和欺凌，是常见的。Apartheid South Africa, colonial France, mainland China, post-1967 Israel - and virtually every other polity - were at one time or another characterized by both.种族隔离的南非，法国的殖民地，中国大陆，后在1967年以色列-和几乎每一个其他的政体-在同一时间或另一特点是双方。But while these countries usually mistreated only their own subjects - the USA does so also exterritorialy.但同时，这些国家通常虐待，只有他们自己的学科-美国这样做也e xterritorialy。

America’s manifest hypocrisy, its moral talk and often immoral walk, its persistent application of double standards, irks and grates.美国的表现虚伪，其道德谈，而且往往是不道德的步行，其持久性的应用双重标准， irks和炉排。I firmly believe that it is better to face a forthright villain than a masquerading saint.我坚信，这是更好地面对一个坦率的小人比伪装圣。It is easy to confront a Hitler, a Stalin, or a Mao, vile and bloodied, irredeemably depraved, worthy only of annihilation.这是很容易面对一个希特勒，斯大林，毛泽东或一，情节恶劣，血迹斑斑，造成不可挽回的腐化，值得只有歼灭战。The subtleties of coping with the United States are far more demanding and far less rewarding.细微的应对与美国远远更高的要求，并远不及有满足感。

To the peoples of the poor world, America is both a colonial power and a mercantilist exploiter.以人民的穷人的世界，美国既是一个殖民国家和商剥削。To further its geopolitical and economic goals from Central Asia to the Middle East, it persists in buttressing regimes with scant regard for human rights, in cahoots with venal and sometimes homicidal indigenous politicians.为了进一步其地缘政治和经济目标，从中亚地区向中东，它坚持在支撑制度很少顾及人权，在cahoots与venal ，有时甚至杀人的土著政治家。And it drains the developing world of its brains, its labour, and its raw materials, giving little in return.它的排水渠和发展中世界，其动脑筋，其劳工，其原料，使小的回报。

It is too puerile, too abrasive, too arrogant and it has a lot to learn.这是太幼稚，太磨料，过于傲慢，它有很多了解。Its refusal to acknowledge its shortcomings, its confusion of brain with brawn (ie, money or bombs), its legalistic-litigious character, its culture of instant gratification and one-dimensional over-simplification, its heartless lack of empathy, and bloated sense of entitlement are detrimental to world peace and stability.其拒绝承认有其缺点，其混乱脑与布朗（即，金钱或炸弹） ，其法律诉讼的性质，文化的即时满足和一维过度简化，其无情的，缺乏同理心，和臃肿的感觉应享权利不利于世界的和平与稳定。

Indeed, America’s - and the world’s - best bet are a reversion to the Monroe and (technologically updated) Mahan doctrines.事实上，美国的-和世界的-最好是回归到梦露和（技术更新）马汉的学说。Wilson’s Fourteen Points brought the USA nothing but two World Wars and a Cold War thereafter.威尔逊的14点，带来了美国只不过是两次世界大战和冷战。It is time to disengage.现在是时候脱离接触。

The majority of worldwide respondents to the last two global Pew enter surveys (in 2002 and 2006) regarded the United States as the greatest menace to world peace - far greater than the likes of Iraq or China.大多数世界各地的受访者在过去两年全球进入皮尤的调查（在2002年和2006年）把美国视为最大威胁，对世界和平-远远大于喜欢的伊拉克或中国。Thinkers and scholars as diverse as思想家和学者一样多种多样Christopher Lasch克里斯托弗laschin “The Cultural Narcissist” and Theodore Millon in “Personality Disorders of Everyday Life” have singled out the United States as the quintessential在“文化narcissist ”和西奥多永在“人格障碍日常生活的”挑出美国的精华narcissistic society自恋社会. 。

The United States of America started out as a series of loosely connected, remote, savage, and negligible colonial outposts.美国开始为一系列松散的连接，远程，野蛮，微不足道的殖民地前哨。The denizens of these settlements were former victims of religious persecution, indentured servants, lapsed nobility, and other refugees.该denizens这些定居点前的受害者，宗教迫害，契约公务员，失效，贵族，和其他难民。Their Declaration of Independence reads like a maudlin list of grievances coupled with desperate protestations of love and loyalty to their abuser, the King of Britain.他们的独立宣言读起来就像一maudlin名单的不满，再加上绝望的抗议爱和忠诚，他们的施虐者，国王在英国。

American altruism is misanthropic and compulsive. They often give merely in order to control, manipulate, and sadistically humiliate the recipients.美国利他主义是misanthropic ，并强迫他们往往只是在为了控制，操纵，并sadistically羞辱的人。

Consequently, the United States always finds itself in company with the least palatable regimes in the world: together with Nazi Germany it had a working eugenics program (the 1935 anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws and the Nazi sterilization law were modeled after American anti-miscegenation and sterilization statutes), together with the likes of Saudi Arabia it executes its prisoners, it was the last developed nation to abolish slavery, alone with South Africa it had instituted official apartheid in a vast swathe of its territory.因此，美国总是发现自己在公司与至少适口制度在世界上：同纳粹德国有一个优生学的工作计划（ 1935年反犹太人的纽伦堡法律和纳粹灭菌法为蓝本后，美国反华miscegenation和绝育法规） ，联同喜欢沙特阿拉伯它执行它的囚犯，这是去年开发的国家废除奴隶制，仅与南非，它建立了官方的种族隔离在一个广阔的大片领土。
Add to this volatile mix an ethos of malignant individualism, racism both latent and overt, a trampling, “no holds barred” ambitiousness, competitiveness, frontier violence-based morality, and proud simple-mindedness - and an ominous portrait of the United States as a deeply disturbed polity emerges.添加到这一动荡的组合一，校风恶性个人主义，种族主义双方潜在的和显性，践踏“ ，没有举行禁止” ambitiousness ，竞争力，边境暴力为基础的道德，和自豪简单的态度-是一个不祥的画像，美国作为1深感不安政体出现。
