I guess that just shows you how confused the "old world" is. The U.S. is the world's only superpower because we got it right, not the so-called "rest of the world." If the "rest of the world" were so astute, then why our dominating superiority? Simple, the rest of the world doesn't get it right, hasn't gotten it, and flails in their own lack of comprehension. Lots of countries do "get it." Clearly France has NEVER gotten it, bending over for every invading country for the past 100 years. Some countries that do get it: Bosnia, Taiwan, most of South America, England, Spain, and Australia.
