Besides, although China clearly wants its moment in the sun, it doesn't seem particularly eager or able to lead. "When was the last time Beijing offered its own peace plan for the Arab-Israeli conflict, for instance?" asks Jonathan Eyal, Europe correspondent for the Straits Times in Singapore.

"Other emerging powers are no better," he adds. "What is India's contribution to, say, solving the crisis in Sudan? Or Russia's plan for dealing with the North Korean nuclear problem?"

In other words, American leadership is still the global norm.

China, India and Russia are tending to their OWN AFFAIRS and are working diligently for the betterment of their own populations and conditions.

Only arrogant fools (Of which we have a limitless supply) would prefer to run around the world meddling.
