What Kishore Mahbubani says starting at 56.37 in the video above is marvelous---I have never heard such a blunt talk ever by a diplomat yet more and more people should tell this to America although, it would be hard for Americans to listen to such things---

America should stop converting the world into its fiefdom---rather should work with the rest of the world to solve many of the problems of the world ---political and diplomatic resolution of the world problems in a multilateral way in which of course America should play its leadership role can establish its world leadership not power and force and intimidation-

[faye]

lead where, lead what? the world needs countries to be each others friend not to have one country, lead.
all the different peoples around the world can have ideas that can be utilised in the progression of humanity to something sane and constructive.
people with your mentality create this problem of putting america in the role, that gives too many americans the stupid, big headed attitude, that deludes them to their idea of their own superiority.
didn't obama say in his inaugural speech, 'we are ready to lead!', and where did he 'lead'?
more drone slaughters around the world, more repressive laws in america, more bases and encroaching on others.

perhaps you want them to lead in morality? lol.
