Summary/Abstract: The current US administration, dominated ideologically by the so-called neo-conservatives, engaged the only superpower into an adventurous and highly uncertain policy of unilateral military action, followed by a hopeless occupation of an important country in the Middle East. The hubris of neo-conservatives has proved to be a short-lived one, as the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq (and, generally, across the whole Middle East) is showing no sign of a clear out-of-mess strategy. As part of the “Coalition of the Willing”, Rumania is in a difficult position, especially in front of its “natural” (i.a.: European, mainly French and German) allies, and the political class has to take full responsibility for current and future difficulties coming from the perceived opportunism - and lack of a proper strategy, to take into account the national interest of Rumania – of several recent political gestures of the ruling politicians.
