* OOOT * What, in your opinion, was responsible for the emergence of the United States of America as the dominant country in the world today? I'm hardly the person to ask, PW, and I don't know if I agree with the premise that the USA is the dominant country in the world today, as there are a lot of different ways of measuring dominance and the time interval of our recovery has been very short. I'll take a stab at offering a few reasons why things are good, though: * The USA is blessed with an abundance of space and natural resources. * We have great trading partners to the north and south <g>. * The current (temporary) economic weakness of the other super powers makes us look better than perhaps we are. * Our weaponry is second to none. * Clinton didn't get booted out of office; ie, our political system is pretty stable. Don't look to me for insights in the political arena; all of the above are pretty obvious. Maybe someone else should respond. Frank
