I disagree with Hightower.

What you will find here is: a centrist's view of current events;
a collection of thoughts, arguments, and observations
that I have found appealing and/or amusing over the years;
and, if you choose, your civil contributions which will make it into a conversation.

Fareed Zakaria

I would like to suggest to you Fareed Zakaria. In The Post American World he provides a view of a possible future which deals with the fact that, though America can be the first power in the world, it cannot be as dominant a power in this century as it was in the last. I expect that he would agree with Walter Lippman’s statement that Foreign Policy is “bringing into balance, with a comfortable margin of power in reserve, the nation’s commitments and the nation’s power.” He writes for Newsweek and has a Sunday talk show, GPS the Global Public Square, which gives you the opportunity to hear from foreign leaders themselves about their views so as not to hear only what our people think that the foreigners think.
