If you can get beyond the slimebag that he is, his comments have a kernel of truth. Looming on the economic horizon is China and later Russia, the former because of their vast potential in terms of human resources (not to mention a good deal of industrial might - the result of shipping manufacturing jobs to them, bottom line you know) and the later because of petroleum and other non-renewable resources.

In addition, don't discount India and the nations of the sub-Sahara for the same reasons.

I couldn't disagree with you more. This is typical left wing horsesh*t. Treating future or current world powers with kid gloves (ie: as if we don't have long on top of the heap) is not going to matter one iota in how they will treat us in the future, no matter what that future US status is. That's like saying we want to treat the detainees at GITMO with kid gloves so that the same terrorist groups who killed 3,000 innocents on Sept 11th, who cut off Danny Pearl's head, etc. will treat our prisoners/hostages "better."

It's about time the left wing figured out that no matter how much joy and light Daniel Pearl brought into the world, his naivete and theirs regarding the utter ruthlessness of the barbarians we are facing, will continue to be a threat to the security of America.

Only if the Left succeeds in destroying our freedoms here at home. It's freedom that made us the most powerful nation on the planet. His dreams of the "Third Way" fascism for this country, and the rest of the world, are what he's banking on to reduce the US to just another supplicant before some sort of world government.
