That article you provided the link to is an interesting one, Wolfgang. It suggests to me that the usual controlling forces which always end up dominating American foreign and domestic policy are, as always, well in control of the political agenda, and that Obama will serve them in the usual fashion once he is elected (if he is).

McCain will also serve them in the usual fashion.

So get ready for more of the same. The great American leopard is very unlikely to change its spots at this juncture.
