The new world order to come. Did Osama bin laden win? Osama's mission accomplished? It's clear that the US is hated around the world and declining in influence, no thanks to the Bush lackeys. NYTimes projects these declining trends twenty years to take a look at the new order of things. It's a long but worthy read.

The broad strokes in the article don't really ring true for me, but then again the trumpeting of American power has never really rang true for me either over the last 10 years. But I am not an oil seller or Euro diplomat. so what do I know

Certainly not worthy of death down the barrel of a military gun, whatever the case

but yeah the article proves that the bigger the ideas, the feebler the brain deffo. Parag Khanna should take a good look the eyes of the people walking down his street, and maybe start doing good from there

When you editorialise in posts, the terrorists win.
