Very cool analysis, which provoked an insight of my own I think is good, or maybe it's the excellent Polish vodka. I am guessing that this is the type of insight that only a middle aged female baby boomer would have. We Americans are the global equivalent of the Sandwich Generation, the generation that has to take care of both the children and the aged wrinklies, aka parents, trying to juggle children that need to be protected and nurtured, and aging parents that need to be cared for. We have to take care of the baby countries like Estonia and Latvia that need to be protected and nurtured until they are fully grown. And we need to take care of the ancient countries like Iraq that bitch at us for interfering with their autonomy but need to be cajoled and sweet talked into wearing their Depends and taking their calcium supplements. We members of the Sandwich Generation get no respect, but carry the world on our shoulders. That's my own projection, and I am sticking to it.
