Yet I still encounter numerous people who insist that the "American Empire" dominates the world. Personally I'm more concerned with China.
Equally delusional would seem to be those who maintain that Bush is the best President the US has had. Ever. Something tells me that, however the Middle East ends up, Bush (and Blair) aren't going to fare too well in the history books.
