摘要

In the coming four years, the Middle East will continue to be the strategic focus of the United States. It can be seen in an analysis of the recent years's ituation that the Bush administration rather chose a war in the Middle East to achieve its strategic goals than used non-military measures to do the same thing. In the future the Bush administration might find it difficult to draw back from its policy on the Middle East, which will mean more losses than gains. This will probably continue to cause damage to both the soft and hard power of the U.S., and result in a downward trend of the U.S. power for a certain period of time.
