Once it was said that sun never sets on the British Empire less than 100 years later it most certainly does.No one nation is the biggest kid on the street forever.We are currently in a transition point it should be obvious to most people .

I can certainly agree with Zakaria what we are seeing is other nations rise it does not signal our (the United States) down fall just that the rules are changing.

I do like his commentaries, he presents facts and logical thinking. Although in many of his commentaries, i think its obvious he favors Obama and the Democratic party. Im fine with that because he doesn't seem to be above critizing them as well.

Back on topic, here's one he made about China a few days ago. If he's correct, China definatly needs to do something. Which maybe leads into what Skybird was saying?

I noticed the favor for Obama's policies though I'd say that he is no pundit he likes what he likes dislikes what he dislikes not just a blind follower or mouth piece.

No matter what Skybird thinks about the euro, I genuinely believe that it is a good concept.

I bounce around the world a lot, and I absolutely HATE currency conversion.

I would certainly love a one world currency
