Those commies on National Public Radio, Tom Ashbrook specifically, is currently interviewing Fareed Zakaria concerning his new book The Post American World. I haven't read it yet but I'm ordering from our library as I type. Discounting military power, the USA is being outpaced in many areas by other countries. No amount of nationalistic patriotism can deny that fact. As Zakaria points out, the book is not so much about the decline of the USA, but rather the rise of everyone else. This isn't a bash-America book. It's a wake-up call for us to understand what is happening, why it is happening and how to respond intelligently to globalization.
