French Minister Hubert Vedrine has admitted that since the fall of the Soviet Union's America is the only "superpower". The United States is no longer in competition with other countries. America seems to be invulnerable and rules over international relationships because of which America has been nicknamed "the world's policeman". Unfortunately, this invulnerability has become an illusion since the 09/11 attacks. After this tragic and traumatic episode, the United States realizes that their national interests, especially their national security, are threatened. Bush Administration, under the neo-conservative ideology's influence, revolutionizes the foreign policy and introduces a messianic conception based on military power. The American foreign policy is particularly influenced by the religious morals. The references to God, democracy and peace are very frequent. Richard Perle even talks about a "world of peace thanks to the American military power".
