The position of the United States, relative to the rest of the world, is a position created by and for the United States, a nation built upon the highest principles and aspirations of mankind. It is not merely a "seat" which can be filled by a nation like China. If the United States goes away, no one country will dominate, and the world will decend into total chaos. The fact that Clinton apparently does not understand this is downright frightening.

"If the United States goes away, no one country will dominate, and the world will decend into total chaos."

No one country will dominate or lead because no one country will have the credibility to do so, morally, economically, or militarily. Unless, of course, the United States is cloned.
