Charles Krauthammer writes: Twenty-five years ago — December 1991 — communism died, the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union disappeared. It was the largest breakup of an empire in modern history and not a shot was fired....That dawn marked the ultimate triumph of the liberal democratic idea. It promised an era of Western dominance led by a preeminent America, the world’s last remaining superpower…That era is over. The autocracies are back and rising; democracy is on the defensive; the U.S. is in retreat. – Washington Post
