The American Exceptionalism thing is all about leadership in the world…..if that is true then we have failed miserably.
Think about it…..who can be considered a world leader? Obama? Putin? Cameron? Merkel? Or maybe one of those lying toads that are running for their party’s nomination? Is one of they capable of being the next world leader?
To be a leader one needs leadership qualities…..and who do you think is capable of having those qualities?
Personally, I see NO one in the current world of international relations that I would consider a leader……there is nothing in the US that shows leadership of any sort….anybody can start a damn war.
There are many world leaders, but why is there no leadership?

I always thought the Dalai Lama would do a decent job, if he could be persuaded to take the job. I doubt he would; he’s pretty smart….

Yep, he would not want the burden of trying to lead a band of humans….he is smart….chuq
