It was possible up to the eighteenth and nineteenth (and even
twentieth) centuries, but will it be possible today, especially with a
US in decline and fast losing international clout? I don't think so.

For one thing, there is the risk of popular uprising in Egypt (and
possibly in Jordan and even other Arab countries). Can the US afford
to risk that?
