Summary/Abstract: America has been represented for a long time as the leading power among other continents. It was or it still is the land where every dream can come true, where people are safe and with hard work can realise all their aims. But this or similar statements about the United States have lost their credence on September 11, 2001. America's value system, symbols, main conceptions have been derogated. This essay I tries to find an answer for the question: can America still be a leading power among other countries?
