The world we are entering will need new solutions to its problems. There are too many new players for the old structures to work. Asia is rising, but not only Asia. Economic activity and political confidence are also growing in Latin America and even Africa. Nongovernmental actors are becoming more powerful every day. New media sources—from Al-Jazeera to India's NDTV—are presenting diverse and contrarian narratives of current events. Welcome to the post-American world.

    Another one sided piece of s*** article from newsweek While the GOP may use the threat of a terorist attack to help their base, it is still a real threat. The Dems use Bush and racism for their fear tactics. One thing about Obama there's no more Libtard excuses

    The time for change is now. America must move forward from a dark hour and improve relations with the rest of the world that it was alienated from for the past eight years. The American people themselves want to reach out to the rest of the world. We look on with curiosity and zeal but at that same time never wanting to let go of our American citizenship and pride. Obama has been given an opportunity by the rest of the world to show a new America. Share our amazing culture with the world. The truth is most of the world is open to American pop culture. This is the best way to spread Americanism without a militaristic or a hard-line diplomatic stance. We can spread our influence but in a whole new way. We don't have to be a shadow of a former power but stand stronger than before but in a whole new way.

    "If you can tell the difference between conservative beliefs and Bush's policy then you would retract your statment. "

    Conservatives don't borrow and spend.

    Conservatives don't engage in useless foreign adventures like Iraq.

    Conservatives don't push new laws to limit freedom.

    Shall I go on? Bush is no conservative, and never has been...and McCain's voting record agrees with Bush 95% of the time.
