Mark,
Excellent comments.

GO eyes are not that different from the cold war Containment Policy. The difficulty for the US was to determine how aggressively, if at all, to apply pressure to the perimeter, expanding the eye or shrinking the containment.

Our left leaning friends have taken the position that any pressure exerted by the US is wrong, that Western Society, particularly Anglo-American variety is evil. Those of us who disagree are forced to the precurser position…Circle the Wagons.

“When in the course of human events…” it becomes necessary to reestablish the ties of common culture and language needed to protect ourselves we must consider the Reunification of the Anglo-Sphere.

In my opinion reunification is easier than it looks; all the mechanisims are already in place, if the will is there. Questions include: Does it include India ? (I think yes) and where is the second ring ? (Europe, Mexico, Latin America ?)
