Let's just rethink what has happened during the Bush administration's Six year abdication of it responsibility to protect our national interests.
Remember China is a nation of between 1.2 and 1.5 Billion people. That means that in terms of China, the population of the USA is a Rounding Error (a point brilliantly made by this video.)
While presiding over the worst job record in my lifetime and losing millions of manufacturing jobs, George Bush's policies have created more jobs in China than Mao.
Meanwhile, Chinese support of Iran is the leading threat to world poltical stability today.
Well, while Bushism ruled America, China rose, and our leaders slept. Sweet dreams. I hope somebody wakes up soon.
