If The World Could Vote For Our President
A friend of mine (US Citizen) who has been working overseas for the last several years sent me this link to a map from The Economist depicting how the world would vote:

I think most of us would agree that how the world would vote is a relevant topic, but the details as to why its relevant or its degree of importance are certainly debatable. I'll refrain from injecting my opinion here, however, if you would like to assert yours, please do by posting a comment, a link to a relevant article, etc...

that's a very fascinating webbie! with America asserting herself to be a world power and protector/ advocate of democracy it truly is little wonder why this site was even created. i mean, would the world care who's president in let's say..singapore? so many theories can be brought up with regards to how important the world views the job of the American president and yet, on the other hand how nonsensical it seems to be. really makes one wonder, is America a democracy of equal standing with other nations or, a modern world imperial power of sorts?
