The League of Democracies

Over the last month the US has quitely persuaded both Czech republic and Poland to adopt the anti-missile shield and they both have grasped the opportunity with both hands. Putin has predictably yawyawed but the Czech Republic Prime Minister told him to stuff it in no uncertain terms. Britain too wanted it and Blair has lobbied Bush over the matter. Dunno whta's going to come of that but that's a welcome development. Romano Prodi resigned not just because of the opposition to Afghanistan involvement but also to the expanding US base on Italy. Now he is back in the business again, that little trick has helped him to cut the floor from under the left wing objector's feet. If anything, looks like the US base is going to happen.
Remember, this was the same Star Wars program that rocked the Euroweenies back when Ronald Reagan was president. Now that the Iran is fast building up missiles and nuclear bombs, they all are hankering after the American cover to duck under.
Guess the superpower has its uses huh?
Not only that Britain is sending more troops to Afghanisthan and Canada is actually fighting with France over the same issue. Isn't it curious that all these countries, including Australia, are quitely propping up the war effort in Afghanisthan?
For all those doommongers who say that American power has diminished under Bush watch, this is an eye-opener. Australia too is building more US bases and both Australia and Japan are hosting the defence shield too because of North Korea. Isn't it curious that none of these countries are approaching the so-called new superpower China? China might taunt, frustrate and irriate the US a bit but it daren't meddle with the US. And US power is alive and well and rapidle expanding around the globe and how. It is both a vindication of the US and George Bush.
There was a huge heartburn when Rumsfeld coined the term New Europe. France felt the whip of that term quiet keenly.
George Bush's democracy agenda may not fared as expected in the Arab world but its is actually bringing in a new force around the world. All the best democracies in the world are teaming up and moving closer under the American aegis. This might even mark the rise of a new world order, an order where all the young forward looking countries bond together as one, leaving behind the Obsolescent and the Obnoxious.( UN, NATO, Chia, France and the Mullahs) How cool is that.
Most pundits have pronounced the legcay of George Bush as dead even before his reign ends. But, in unnoticed subtle ways, he might leave behind a legacy greater than even Roosevelt or Reagan.
