Unilateralism in a unipolar world?

An article in the NY Times about how the US effort to dismantle the Pakistani nuclear proliferation ring runs into problems.

I thought that this article gives a good idea of the difficulty of the present US position in the world. On one hand, some of our most necessary allies (Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia) seem like they're taking us for a ride. On the other, our work with the IEAE is compromised by our unilateralism and its lack of discretion.

One wonders how our national interests diverged from those so many other nations.
