<We are still leading the world.> When we yielded to the temptation to use our military as our source of power and throw our principles overboard, that is when we ceased being world leaders.

>>We are still leading the world.<< I believe many countries in the World are merely going along with certain Foreign Policy ( certainly foreign to them ), till they have the means of doing otherwise. China and Russia are doing exactly as expected, and I warned of this right here on the FADG at least two years ago. I was right then..I am right now. Noone is so blind as he who refuses to see. You turn friends and potential friends into guaranteed enemies by taking a " with us or agin us ' binary approach to everything. The world is not that simple, no matter how much the right wingers and the Neocons would wish it were. Those binary foreign policy speeches may fly well in Pretoria, but they land like lead balloons in many other locations around the World. Its unfortunate you chose a leader who somewhat learns geography , history, economics and World Politics in real time...heh heh. E'M
