The Arrogant Empire, by Fareed Zakaria of Newsweek.

A great article analyzing public opinion of America from many different Eurasia/African continental points of view, with great historical context. The general gist is that everyone loves to hate the strongest nation, but the reason it’s just now showing up is that GW’s cowboy diplomacy isn’t making the other nations of the world feel important, in contrast to previous presidents’ better diplomatic skills. The article alludes to further Germany + France + China alliances, perhaps concerning the coming North Korea events.

Both Komputor and Mass Spectrometry Blog are both my neighbors. Who would have thought GeoURL would be so cool? I just thought it was kinda neat and maybe a way to meet people, but I’ve found so many great sites that way.
