Whichever man wins, he will inherit what Johns Hopkins University political scientist Francis Fukuyama calls a ``post- American world,'' replacing the U.S.-dominated ``new world order'' that President George H.W. Bush proclaimed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. No longer the ``hyperpower'' of the 1990s, the U.S. is slipping toward a first-among-equals status, narrowing the foreign-policy options of whoever moves into the White House in January.
For 20 years, U.S. leaders ``have assumed American dominance; they've assumed that they're working in a unipolar world,'' says Fukuyama, who gained fame in 1992 by declaring that the collapse of Soviet communism heralded the eventual triumph of liberal democracy in the ``end of history.'' Now, he says, ``there's been this big redistribution of power.''

How in the world can you blame the Bush's for setting us on the 3rd world train to nowhere? Look at New Orleans and Detroit. Two democrat controlled cities, that are in complete shambles. It was a democrat who brought us NAFTA and its democrats that have been propagating a nanny state for the last few decades.

What's more, you simply tried to deflect the issue. What Bush has created is a state that is paralyzed on the international arena due to his obsession with invading the ME,
with soaring healthcare costs, outsourced jobs and tax havens for corporations, and the middle class slipping down.
Lehman Hires Jeb Bush as private Equity advisor
NEW YORK, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Lehman Brothers has hired Jeb Bush, brother of the President of the United States, as an advisor to its private equity business, a source familiar with the situation said.
Lehman hired another relative of U.S. President George W. Bush last year--George Walker, a second cousin, who heads up the bank's asset management business.

How can you say this, when it was Clinton who beat the war drums against Iraq for a decade?
Yet, you're trying to rewrite history and convince us all that it was all Bush and his "obsession" with invading Iraq.
Give me a break. Its my belief, that Al Gore would have also invaded Iraq had he won the presidency.
And yet he didn't resort to bogus intelligence, sleazeballs like Chalabi and utter scare tactics employed by Bush and his cicrle of amateur politicos.
What, you don't remember that this village idiot was repeatedly asking his advisors how they can best link (in PR terms) Iraq to 9/11 after the attacks? You don't know how the Wolfowitz gang was discussion the invasion and whether it would be "good for Israel"?

Which intelligence did Bush use that wasn't touted pre-2001? Bush didn't make any claims that hadn't been made before he was in office.

Either we unapologetically embrace the United States as the best and greatest, or we embrace the "new world order" where all nations are equal. You can't have it both ways.
The modern use of the phrase "new world order," according to conspiracy theorists, originated in the early 1900s with Cecil Rhodes, who advocated that the British Empire and the United States should jointly impose a Federal World Government (with English as the official language) to bring about lasting world "peace".

"If Obama is elected, I'm confident that in the first instance half of the anti-Americanism in the world would disappear,'" says Kishore Mahbubani, dean of the National University of Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. "The tragedy here unfortunately is that on the economic and trade front, Obama's policy is quite frightening. If he carries out some of his protectionist rhetoric, we're in deep trouble."
