A shattering moment in America’s fall from power
The global financial crisis will see the US falter in the same way the Soviet Union did when the Berlin Wall came down. The era of American dominance is over
John Gray Guardian
Our gaze might be on the markets melting down, but the upheaval we are experiencing is more than a financial crisis, however large. Here is a historic geopolitical shift, in which the balance of power in the world is being altered irrevocably. The era of American global leadership, reaching back to the Second World War, is over.

Interesting Reactions Worldwide – What Years of Neglect and Lack Of National Policy Is Creating
By: TraderMark Saturday, September 27, 2008 2:12 PM istockanalyst
Remember, we’ve been talking about the Post-American era that is coming soon, where there is not 1 superpower (Aug 19: Coming Soon: A Post American World), but due to its self inflicted wounds and gluttony, the “Rise of the Rest” (Fareed Zakaria) will occur (if you are new to the blog I’d highly recommend reading this post from May) Remember, we are shouted at daily (“We’re #1”) that the US led the world into this mess, and we’ll lead them out. I believe differently. This is such a deep rooted mess, the rest of the world will lead us out, not vice versa. We’ll know in a few years but I wrote often in fall 2007 that we have a very inward looking (“if it doesn’t happen in America, it doesn’t matter”) arrogance about us. So of course WE will lead the rest of the world out of this mess… no one else is strong enough. This is a global world, with competitors running at us hard and fast – the quicker we get out of our inward gaze and realize this – the better. Perhaps being taken down a few rungs will help us on that path… I hope so. But we’ll see. We have very short memories. Read the rest of this entry »

Bailout can’t hide it – the United States is broke TheDay
Even leading Republicans in Congress, including presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, recoiled from Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson’s proposal to take absolute power over $700 billion to be borrowed by the federal government and used to purchase every sort of bad debt without ever having to answer for it – not to the courts, not to regulatory agencies, and only occasionally and incidentally to Congress itself.
