The United States needs to learn to function as one power in a complex system that it can neither escape nor dominate. It also needs to view other nations successes in pulling their citizens out of poverty not as a threat but as an opportunity and it needs to ask a lot of questions.
- Why are we in Afghanistan, Iraq?
- What we learned from Vietnam?
- Why is the Palestinian problem not solved?
- How can we stop large oscillations in our Economies?
- Why are our friends trusting us less?
- Why is our infrastructure aging?
- Why did we export manufacturing to cheaper labor overseas and not imported
the labor?
- How much of our large Service Industry can go the way manufacturing did?
- Why is Health Services and Insurance so expensive?
I can fill a few pages with questions. America certainly has the brains to answer those questions, but not the will to implement the answers.
- sid- 17y ago"- Why did we export manufacturing to cheaper labor overseas and not imported the labor?" That is a very interesting suggestion. But how would we get rid of minimum wage,health care costs,unions,cost of living to actually lower the cost ? Other countries have an advantage as the minimum wage is lesser and human rights activists are not as vocal. Maybe if people think more deeply about it they will have a solution.
- turkishrevenge 17y ago> "What we learned from Vietnam?" Apparently nothing. > "Why is the Palestinian problem not solved?" Because the U.S. continues to supply arms and funding to Israel. > "Why did we export manufacturing to cheaper labor" I think you answered your own question here: because it's cheaper.
