Paul Johnson and the Big Picture of American History

I encourage folks to read this article that is in the weekend edition of the WSJ:

Carney, Brian M., 2011. Why america will stay on top. The Wall Street Journal, Mar. 5.

I do not agree with all positions that Mr. Johnson takes, however, he does see the big picture that many can not put together.

This is a quote from him:

"'Of course I worry about America," he says. 'The whole world depends on America ultimately, particularly Britain. And also, I love America—a marvelous country. But in a sense I don't worry about America because I think America has such huge strengths—particularly its freedom of thought and expression—that it's going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable future. And therefore take care of the world.'"
