Quo Vadis, America?

You have nightmares about America?

I do, in fact. Of the kind in which the country which is the champion of the west becomes fatally anti-scientific; creationist; under the spell of religious extremists; militaristic; gun-toting; led by lobbyists and special interest groups; and where women need to have abortions in dark alleys.

In short, irreversibly estranged from mainstream western Europe. It would be the end of any sense of a common western civilization and would mean a definitive breakup of transatlantic ties. Just at a time when large parts of the globe are catching up and are about to become serious contenders for the west.
