Actually, it is Bush's day that is almost over. After he is out of
office, he'll revert to public drinking.

Clinton is well-respected around the world. Bush is...considered a
buffoon.

Bush is well respected, and feared, because he can't be pushed around.



You're delusional. Bush probably is the least-respected US president
around the world in the last 100 years. Most of the world believes he is
retarded.


They can believe whatever they want. What you don't see them doing is
trying to push us around.

Respect is borne from fear, and right now the rest of the world is in
fear of what the US may do if we are provoked.


Yeah...for now. How long before China catches up & passes you?

That's the way it works in the world Don. The mighty have allways been
brought down by the new kid on the block. Canada by the way is nothing more
than a bit player on the world stage.

I figure that the US has between 50 and 100 years at the world leading
power. China is going to go through a period of modernization in the next 50
years that will impove the working and living conditions. Then, the Chinese
will start to swing their economic muscle around the trest of the world.
What I havn't figured out is how the Indians are going to figure into the
equation.
