JtS's link to 'Post-America World' presents a fundamentally different view than I see. It is not original with me, of course, but I think that a world in which other countries wake up to their potential, creating their own niche in industry and social services and enriching their people, in a development that ensures the relative decrease of America's power and wealth and influence is a healthy one.

The position of Big Hog at the trough with a few subservient cronies while baby hogs are jostling each other for a place at the banquet is an unhealthy situation for everyone.
