Since I addressed most of these points last week, I will not repeat myself. I will say that you misinterpret my reference to "slam dunk" (I said it was not a "slam dunk", which means it is not a sure thing), as you usually misinterpret what I say. I will also note that there is nothing to your accusation that Bush has a "superpower takes all" perspective. Takes all of what?

Your overall point is meaningless. Yes, they "catch up" in individual departments, but overall, we remain the pace- setters. In that sense, they have never caught up, because we are always moving on to the new thing. I acknowledge that might not always be the case, but your demographic superstition has little to do with it. How have their sizes made India or China superpowers up to this point? Of course, they have not, because it is not a matter of human aggregation, but of the culture and infrastructure to create "human capital" and put it to productive use. These countries still have masses of people who are not even especially part of the modern world.......
