Yeah, this has been in the news for a long time in America.

Lots of American's are actually excited about this. Every country always wants something from us. Before WWII we just stuck to ourselves.

Now we will be able to say: Go ask China/India.

How many decades has it been US policy to encourage India and China to modernize and become 'players'? Of course the natural result is that relatively speaking, the US loses some dominance. I guess it's good the BBC is keeping up on the news.

I always saw it as the end of the 'age of superpowers', where individual empires dominated, only to be overthrown by another empire.

Not to sound apocalyptic or anything, but I think a global union of nations, and perhaps world government... could be within a century. Perhaps emerging after WWIII.

I see I am not the only one that sees current political and economic situations as a breeding ground for another WW.

I am sure this has something to do with those evil new world order people. According to the things I have seen about NWO, their goal is to make China the next world super power. So many Americans and people all over the world are so oblivious as to what will eventually happen. That is just what the government wants. They want people to stay inside their zombie TV bubble, worrying about Project Runway or the Bachelor instead of what is really real and true. Just go to youtube and look up Illuminati and NWO, as well as FEMA concentration camps. Also, look up rfid microchip and the mark of the beast. Christians will be OK in the end though.

Your father sounds like a very smart man. Good for him. I love Jesus. He does and has done so much for me.
