one of the more depressing aspects of american foreign and military policy is that, as it has been for most of a century, it is still based entirely around energy hegemony, and that means, to the americans, oil; this at a time when anyone with a brain larger than his wallet understands that oil is done, that it is toxic to the planet, the world economy and all the inhabitants of the biosphere.
who is going to fight this world view? not the brits, not the soviets. i can think of a couple of candidates: the european union and china.
i am naive enough not to be prejudiced toward any future saviors of this little orb, though i have a very clear favorite; the european model is the wounded beginning, along with the undermined united nations, of the only possible future of a civilized mankind.
