We'll have to wait and see, but I seriously doubt it. Look at the world
situation in 2001, then, look at it now. Iran was a problem. It still
is. Israel/Palestine? No real change. North Korea, still the same.
Now Iraq? It's still unstable and dangerous. I will admit it has the
potential to be a stabilizing influence in an unstable area, but it also
still runs the chance of getting out of control. It's way too early for
any predictions.

The world has been an unstable and dangerous place since man took his
first steps. The survival instinct is strong. Family, tribe, city,
state, in that order, are where the allegiance's lie. You aren't going
to change that and that is the root of most all conflicts.

The perception of America by the rest of the world? Sorry, Bush has had
a negative effect.

The rest of the world should be in awe of us economically and militarily.

If the US is such a crappy place why do people want to emigrate to the US.

The economy? If Obama saves us from a depression, Bush won't go down as
a "Hoover". If Obama fails, Bush and Hoover are synonymous.

Obama will not save us from a depression he we pull us into a
depression. History will show that once congress went to the democrats

At best, Bush will be remembered by history as a mediocre President, more
likely, he will be remembered as one of the worst.

It will take 20 to 40 years to find out.

Why are newspapers having problems with the Internet? Could it be that
the newspapers have been feeding their subscribers pages and pages of
biased crap for far too long?

BS, newspapers, and media in general, are too large to pinhole. There
are quality, non-biased papers to be found in almost every market. The
reason newspapers are having a difficult time, very few people have the
time to sit down and read a newspaper, especially when you can get all
your "news" on a cell phone.

True I don't read my local newspaper, The Washington Post because it is
an admitted left-wing, socialist, liberal rag. I want unbiased news
reporting not some reporters view of the world.

Oh, and the Internet isn't biased? Geeze, who knew?

I didn't say the Internet wasn't biased. The internet allows you to
compare and contrast the same news story from many sources very quickly,
you get to determine who is pushing an agenda very quickly.
