USA "Magic is over" says this french guy.

I admit the USA has taken a hit over the last several years but in my opinion this is a normal cycle countries go through. Yes the world has changed, but its only a matter of time before the US adapts.

For the next Administration I would hope they adjust the US to this "new World" and require other countries to start footing the bill for world peace. I would like to see us curtail spending abroad, campaign for the European nations to increase their humanitarian spending, and have the US reinvest its tax dollars in home issues.

Do you think its time to draw back some from the international scene in order to strengthen our core?
