Food, energy, steel...

And no, I never said "other countries" should control us. But we should be willing to share.


Weak. Anyway, the question was what do you think Obama means by his remark, and you posted an unrelated link in response.

So, what do you think he means?

I-node is an idiot. He probably isn't aware that the US, with 5% of the world's population, consumes 25% of it's oil. Or that we, with 5% of the world population, spend as much as the rest of the entire world on our military.

If you're just some citizen in a random country looking at these FACTS, what would your conclusion be? We're destined not to be top dog at some future time, to follow the destiny of all empires. How will the world regard us THEN?
