Rethinking the World View...So Soon!

I am open to other points of view...perhaps too much so. Just after outlining my view of a new persona for the U.S., I am beginning to question some of my basic premises, thanks to some comments made by Robert Bridge in the Moscow News in his piece entitled Is Globalization a Fool's Progress? I have found, of late, that getting perspectives from other parts of the world, by skimming English-language newspapers from around the world, is interesting, informative, and eye-opening. It's not hard to get perspectives from Egypt, the entire Arab world, Venezuela, the UK, Singapore, Russia...the whole world. Most difficult in getting a real perspective, from my point of view, is the Arabic world...little in English, that in English is somewhat suspect as to source.
