[Paleopsych] World language change

[G. Reinhart-Waller]

This is of interest.  If US is not world cop, then who would you like it 
to be?  The Russians, Chinese, one of the South American 
dictatorships....moving forward takes a country willing to gamble at 
playing the role of policeman in maintaining peace.  That is US.....not 
because it is better at it but because no one else wants the role.

The only allies we have in Iraq are the Iraqi people who are interested 
in Democracy.  That's good enough for me.
