"Gloom, but Not Doom"
Editorial, The New York Times | December 4, 2008
“Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World” portends a severely diminished role for the US and a planet hobbled by multipolarity. ++ The irony is that the Bush administration, in their attempt to further American preeminence, has done everything imaginable to engender the expectations of the report. ++ The good news is “the end results are not inevitable.” ++ A different report, composed by Obama advisors, states, “leadership is not an entitlement; it has to be earned.” ++ Mr. Obama understands these challenges.
