It appears your are not reading what I write. While it is a fact that the Pax Americana exists I’m not in favor of it and hope for its demise. I’m happy for American power to decline. I welcome it. But even if I was the caricature you seem to strongly wish I was, your points could be made much more effectively with a change in attitude. I enjoy witty sarcasm very much but yours lacks the requisite wit to be enjoyable. It’s also inappropriately aimed since I agree with what you believe. Not in how you say it though. I have the burden of knowing we are on the same side.
