Wil's Rant

I read a pretty good article on the new emerging global political situation today. The piece doesn't go into any great depth on the issues but it does present the highlights. A force to oppose the U.S. will certainly arise. Even under the best of circumstances this would be the case when we have one power which has such a one sided status on the global scale. Sooner or later, a country, or group of countries, will take a stand against them. Under the current circumstances I can't help but to think this can be a good thing. Not because of any great love of the Chinese way of doing things these days, but rather because the U.S. has shown too great a lack in leadership capabilities to be entrusted with future of the whole planet. This results in the need for some opposition in order to soften the American bootprint, so to speak. Can we say democracy on a global scale? Any way you cut it, the next fifty years are going to be a real hoot.
