Forum for Iran prez?Where are we headed if a growing number of countries are using China and Russia as their role models?If a growing number of countries are using the totalitarian regimes of China and Russia as their role models, then that speaks volumes about the failed legacy of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. With their ideological certitude, ignorance of history, arrogance, and inept mistakes, they have undermined the integrity and credulity of the nation and threaten the very principles upon which it is founded.

Jack, We are headed into a 3rd world status, where our voice as a world leader will cease to exist. We want everyone to live in peace and with democracy, but we use war as a 1st resort. We need to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons here at home first, before we can make others stop. Our leaders are basically saying to the rest of the world, "Do as I say, not as I do".
-Jason, Scottsdale, ArizonaIf other countries are using China and Russia as role models they are headed in the wrong direction. Maybe it is a warning to the U.S. that we need to clean up our act if we are no longer a suitable role model to other countries.
-Gene, Appleton, WisconsinMaybe those countries are turning toward China and Russia as role models because they don't find a true role model in the US. Today the word "democracy" is just another one of those words that are thrown around when justification is needed for one's self-interest. As the president of Iran pointed out, there are also serious human rights abuses perpetrated by "democracies" like (perish the thought) the US and Israel.
