Also, have you read through this thread. The “Real Story” in this story IMHO is the Crystal Clear fact that China is the leader in trade dominance in the world, no us any longer. I posted also that they could and I’m sure their intellects factor that if we were weakened enough militarily, then they would pull the rug. This isn’t fear-mongering on my part. I’ve watched the trends for nearly 15 years. The World is quickly being reorganized, asset allocations foreign and domestic keep shifting and I just simply don’t feel real good about where our nation is as “member of the world community”. If that makes any sense...
Funny how a Global Warming Summit being called by bush could bring about the conversation that makes that case very well. Funny, but in a quite scary way :)
