Ash tries to look twenty years in the future when the West may have passed
the crest of the mountain and be on the downward other side. China, Japan,
a united Korea and India may be the new powerhouses in the world. We have =
a
chance to do good now, but we won=92t do it if we spend our time bickering
with each other. A futile Gaulist attempt to make the EU a superpower so i=
t
can counterbalance the US is absurd. The EU needs one part Gaulist (in
order to help the US militarily) to two parts Atlanticist (agreement with
the US) in order to work together with the US to build the best, most
peaceful, prosperous, and healthy future possible. In 50 years when the ne=
w
superpowers look back, Ash would rather they not see a history of constant
bickering. He would rather they saw a West that did as well as it could
before handing the baton on to the new superpowers. =20
A.A. That's exactly right, and the turning point is the Bush administration=
. With Clinton the treasury was full and the budget was balanced. Now we =
are running an extreme deficit, and worst of all, he is breaking the back o=
f the very people who make the country a superpower, which is to say the mi=
ddle class consumer, by laying 100% of the entire tax burden on it and in e=
very way possible fighting against them. Adding insult to injury, he even =
squandered the U.S. reputation as the big hearted Americans, the haven of t=
he world, by invading a country whose connection to terrorism is at best hi=
ghly debated. Allah be praised indeed for sending the Americans George W.=
Bush. This sounds venomous, but unfortunately, it's all fact.
