your question that the state of our empire was pretty miserable. As ever, our dumbya prez mouths off about our power/our interests/Russia shouldn’t be doing this in Georgia – and Putin/Medvedyev (is that how it’s spelled?) thumbs his nose at us. We are powerless because of bush’s/the neocons stupidity and hubris.
But Russia doesn’t come up in this interview (I missed the date – was it before the Goergia blow up?). China certainly does (symbiotic consumer/manufacturer/financial driven relationship)- and South America. Interesting comments re Obama image and rebranding America as the good guy.
