Phil > I glimpse a frightening future, one where the West is rapidly losing its advantages. Frightening for those in the West, of course. But I agree with you. The ascendancy of the East is now happening at a terrific rate -- and if one can consider the world economy as a zero sum equation where a winner means a loser -- this must indicate that the decline of the West is also going on apace. For what it's worth, we have an English Chinese TV channel here in SA and I now prefer to watch it in preference to CNN, CNBC or the BBC. I find it simply incredible to see the development that is happening in China, it's almost like fiction. The way they are tearing down the "old" China and replacing it with ultramodern, skyscrapers is amazing. And this is happening all over the place. The people, too, are now very Western in their lifestyle and even in the way they look. Many of them have actually been educated in the West and have gone back to China. So, as I see it, the East is becoming the "new" West. And there's also no doubt that at the same time standards in the US eg health-care, education, are falling to Third World levels.
