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.
Yeah, with our tanked economy and our inability to win wars against
serious or smarter adversaries....
Our economy was tanked by the Democrats. They held the purse strings
when the economy when it tanked.
A wonderful example of why you are not equipped to shovel through the
"news" and determine what is real and what is not.
Fiscal policy in this country is set by the White House. The party of
opposition does not have a working majority in congress. But I know
swallowing and regurgitating right-wing bull**** makes you feel better.
