	The Rise of China, India & Russia: The Next American Century http://www.nextamericancentury.com/ The rise of other global powers is most often posed as a sorry tale. The potential loss of our #1 status implies a blow to our safety, economy, and prestige. In The Next American Century, Nina Hachigian and Mona Sutphen show that the "pivotal powers"—China, Europe, India, Japan, and Russia—seek greater influence, but each has an enormous stake in the world economy and a keen desire to thwart common threats.

	The spirit of Olympic, The rise of China The NEW single party democracy The bleating never stops. There cannot be "democracy" (imagined) without multiple parties A "GOOD" single party is I believe the strongest government in the world and one of the reasons China is where it is today. Those western countries that claim to be democratic are in fact. NOT. If countries claim to be democratic, then referendum should be a MAJOR part of the process. Sadly it is not. In fact western governments avoid referendum BECAUSE they don't want to give power to the people. What we end up with is a switching dictatorship. If the people are not asked, then it is dictating the decisions of government. Allowing a switch from one party to another just doesn't cut it.
