Analysis of a “New China” and the United States role in the World:-13

I am not saying that we should be like China staying away from World events. But now we have to be realistic about what we can and can not do. We have to look at our finances and choose the best course to attain the maximum results to safeguard our interests. But interests should also be defined so that we should not be bogged down in situations where we don’t have clear cut mission or interest.

To be fair right now, Americans are too much occupied with their own finances to worry about people in far away places which they don’t know about or care about in cases. Right now they are worried about how to avoid foreclosure, how to find a job that pays (just pays nothing else) how to have health care without going in too much debt, worry about their retirement prospects, about their children’s future. The least thing they care right now is American interests getting threaten abroad.

So we have a unique opportunity to realign our priorities and take care of our problems first and then think about the world problems. Because seriously we are in no position anymore to solve every damn problem that arises in the world that may need the American attention while the rest of the world watches on the sidelines?
