We’ve been happy to buy their goods and furnish our homes with cheaply produced items for years. But we feel uncomfortable if they start to get ideas above their station and aspire to a standard of life that we in the West enjoy. We are living through the last years of the dominant West. In fifty years time the world will have re ordered itself around the East and Middle east. The U. S. will be a spent force. It will still have its weapons, but that’s all. And contrary to popular opinion this will all come about by economic and capitalist forces, not military ones. <BR/>It will be a difficult but peaceful realignment. But make no mistake, it will happen. And that, essentially, is what we don’t like. Human rights is a fig leaf for the real concerns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120550951047304934.post-53826624180755285332008-08-08T21:10:00.000+01:002008-08-08T21:10:00.000+01:00Something vile about the whole Olympics - totally ...Something vile about the whole Olympics - totally self congratulatory - the chinese doing a USA "we're Number One" while their government suppresses them.

Beckham and co jumping up and down in their grey suits was just nauseating. It was obvious from the off that it’s gonna cost Big Time. Just like the Dome fiasco. So many other things to spend the money on, affordable housing to name but one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
