USA has disgraced itself, thinking that pure power would win the respect of the World.

Chinese, and many other Asian Countries have a decisive definition of what "respect" means, and it sure ain't the same as the USA's war-machine.

Despite it's largess, and growing military strength, when did the Chinese invade a country?

How many military bases does China have all over the globe?

Many criticize the "communist"(I do not even know if that is the correct term) government of China -

But think a moment

USA is "democratic", or so it claims.

USA has 300 million, spends 100's of millions on (s)elections that in the last decade are so close as to be useless.

China has 1.5 Billion - and if anyone has been watching the primaries and caucuses in the USA, and all the problems therein,

Can you imagine the mess it would be in China?

I read once, long ago, that the best government would be what they call a "benevolent" dictatorship/autocracy.

Something to ponder.

But I do know that the USA dictatorship, and that's what it is - face it - is not benevolent - as in caring for the people.

Chavez - have to wait and see, but I DO believe his rhetoric about caring for his people.

but I have NO doubt about the PNAC gang and the BFEE.

They don't give a shit about their citizens, other than to glean money off of them.

That's my Canuk Observation/Opinion.
