New York Times Tom Friedman weighs in, "Who will tell Americans they ain't that powerful anymore !" Who dares ?

I still think that Tom Friedman, the New York Times columnist from the East Coast, still ain't got it all.

But in his Monday column for the New York Times, he is onto something about why America is no longer capable nor able, notwithstanding all the "mau mau" hectoring others in the international community, on a slew of issues, from TIBET to IRAQ, or IRAN, to lord it over anymore.

Just comparing New York city's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Singapore's Changi Airport, and the differences in how airports are run and managed, it serves as a metaphor on why America is in decline.

But which American pol these days dare say it like it is, and tell the American people, " We ain't what we used to be anymore !" Click on Tom Friedman, who is still trying to find his way around the non-Western World.

And while Americans can't extricate itself from the quagmire in Iraq, the Greens, and the liberal narco-neo-fascists in America, and America's labor unions are trying to pick a fight with CHINA and the Chinese people, using TIBET as a pretext.

Gimme a break !
