In a foreign country far away a new head of State will be elected. A President will be chosen. This seems to be a mayor important thing for the world. Every nation is awaiting who the next president will be. But for what? What will he bring to the world. What does the world know about the two male candidates for President of the United States of America?
Really nothing...One is talking about change and hope....but what kind of change, what kind of hope and for who?
Sunday afternoon just before cycling I had to look at an interesting political program. An interview with Kishore Mahbubani.
What the Western world not seems to realize is said by Kishore Mahbubani from Singapore. He is a philosopher and retired diplomat. The says that together with the economic growth of the power of the east (Brazil, India, China and others, also the Arab world) there will be a shift of the political and cultural center. The Asians (and Brazilians) have the future.
The Western world doesn't realize it according to mr. Mahbubani, but there will be a rapid change in structures which keep the world together.
The new President of the USA will not be able to stop the change.
For the West it's time to let the arrogance go and realize that this change is a window of opportunities.
Good luck America! Choose Obama :-)
