Nevertheless, from the year of 2004, because of being busy dealing with the diverse and complex problems, the USA dispersed its concentration. And also the style of American democracy is inconformity to situations in the countries of the Greater Middle East area, so the Partnership had to be tabled at last.Forward the US unilateralism, the Bush administration comes to be aware of its limitation and with proceeding unilateralism would be none the better to broaden anti-terrorism and its benefits.
