On Watching the World Watching US

Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth – Abraham Lincoln

In one of my shorter posts, I pointed out why we are still a superpower (we being America). Well, I’ll now add pictures (see below). Why did i chose to include pictures? it’s not really about Obama but it’s about the world watching us, and our election making Front Page on and in so many parts of the world.

Watching a series on the cold war, about how Moscow used to parade troops and equipment in Red Square, I was struck by what was said. Few intelligence analyst actually cared about the military equipment (it was important mind you,) the real show was who was standing next to who, who was doing what and their reactions and the reactions of others.

I suspect the same is about the same here for most of the world, our friends and our enemies. Let the games begin!
