   ANALYSIS: US RELIABILITY QUESTIONED OVERSEAS

   [Excerpts]    
      
      
   An unmistakable sense of unease is growing in global capitals as the U.S.   
   government from afar [The World Tyrant is always close at hand] looks   
   increasingly befuddled.  America [The World Tyrant] is shirking from a   
   military confrontation in Syria [with    
   the Syrian Arab Republic], stymied at home by a gridlocked Congress [a coward   
   Congress] and in danger of defaulting on sovereign debt, which could plunge   
   the world's financial system into chaos.    
      
   But faith that the U.S. [The World Tyrant] will always be there is fraying   
   more than a little, according to interviews with academics, government leaders   
   and diplomats.    
      
      
   Germany's influential newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung bemoaned the U.S.   
   political chaos.    
   "At the moment, Washington [The World Tyrant] is fighting over the budget and   
   nobody knows if the country will still be solvent in three weeks.  What is   
   clear, though, is that America [The World Tyrant] is already politically   
   bankrupt," it said.    
      
   [In a nutshell:]    
      
   "The rhetoric of diplomacy is just wonderful but it almost never describes the   
   reality."    
      
   That reality worldwide, he [Anthony Cordesman, a military affairs specialist   
   at the Center for International Studies] said, "is a real concern about where   
   is the U.S. [The World Tyrant] going.    
      
   "There is a question of trust.  And I think there is an increasing feeling   
   that the United States [The World Tyrant] is pulling back, and its internal   
   politics are more isolationist so that they [The World Tyrant's puppets] can't   
   necessarily trust what U.   
   S. [World Tyrant] officials say, even if the officials mean it."
