Uh-oh. This is not good for the U.S....

Russia and China are maneuvering against Bush's NeoCon plans for an "American hegemony" around the world. They're insisting on a multi-polar world, meaning they will take a stand against US domination. I guess this is the price for Bush's elective war in Iraq. He knocked off a phoney threat and inspired a very real, very capable bigger threat... Now that Russia and China know the US can't even control piddly little Iraq, they're not afraid to throw their weight around.

Y'know, not long ago the US had the bluff on the rest of the world. We once truly looked like a potential world-dominating nation. That's the kind of political capital that America will need in the years to come. And yet Bush pissed it all away... just so his oil buddies could cash in. Thanks, George. 'Preciate it.
