The Chinese remember all too painfully the unequal treaties imposed by the Western powers on China and Japan in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. An alliance between the US, Japan, Australia, and possibly India designed to contain China would be greeted by the Chinese with that history firmly in mind.

The idea that Obama lacks a plan is right in a sense nothing he has proposed has been big enough to boost the US economy s painfully slow recovery from the 2007 9 recession, nor to insulate it from shocks coming from Europe and from weakening growth in the rest of the world.

As we have become painfully aware, threats to our environment also impinge on our peace and security. Global warming and climate changes have increased the vulnerability of small States such as Guyana to a wave of natural disasters. The El Niño phenomenon recently inflicted on our country a period of intense drought, taking a heavy toll on our economy.

The violence in France, fueled by staggering unemployment and ruthless policing, reflects the utter failure of the French model of social integration. But violence elsewhere in Europe, such as the London bombings of July and the brutal murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh on the streets of Amsterdam in November 2004, had already made Europe s failure to integrate its minorities painfully clear.
