This article reminds me of when early in Bush's first term our spy plane went down over China.

The China/Russian connection is a scary premise.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

It was not a 'spy' plane.

The BBC has been running some interesting programs recently on a Goldman Sachs report on the rising economic power of Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4261354.stm
"...by 2050 (and probably much sooner) the BRICs countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - will be up there at the top table of the world."

"At current rates of growth, China's economy will become bigger than that of the US in 2041. And it will keep on growing, decade after decade, because it still will be much smaller in terms of gross domestic product per head of population."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4260368.stm
"...Goldman Sachs argues that by 2050 only the US and Japan are likely to remain in the G7, the group of the world's seven richest nations."

At first glance this news looks disheartening and even scary. After all, the only thing that sustains our superior military capabilities (and thus our freedom) is our vast economic power. However, I doubt that the good ol' U.S. of A. will fade away as completely as Europe has.

I wonder how we Americans (proud and arrogant) will respond culturally to falling from the top...

I stand corrected. I was certain it was a P-3 Orion... Guess I could have been wrong...
