When I read the current news, watch TV and review some of the blogs posted I'm concerned about our ability to solve the serious problems our country faces. The current financial crisis, oil prices, and the collapse of the housing market are the beginning signs of the decline of the United States as the preeminent world power. The shift has begun, and while we probably will not see another superpower such as the USA in the years to come; what we will see is the rise of several countries to prominence in different areas.
The growth of China cannot be stopped, and Russia and India are experiencing incredible growth even though their growth has slowed due to the recent world-wide financial events. But their potential future power can’t be ignored. If we expect our great country to regain some of what has been lost we must come together as a people and work to find solutions to some serious problems.
It’s not a political issue; it’s an American issue. Somehow we have lost our vision in recent years and the media has served to create strong divisions and hatred between two deeply divided groups in our country. It’s possible for us to succeed and to move forward once again, but it won’t happen as long as we remain divided and unwilling to come together in a spirit of true cooperation.
