Reading your comment on CNR and the copy of your comment here almost tempted me to check it out but fortunately the number of comments (300+) scared me away. I'm surprised you got snagged into the debate by TC. After weeks of resistance, I eventually got snagged by a GVO post. Ugh. What a nightmare. I can't say I don't understand the sociological reasons behind many Americans feeling like the center of the world and not bothering to look out. That said, it is time for Americans (and much of "the West" in general) to start recognizing how the world is changing in "the East." We're in for some interesting times indeed.
