They're playing up the China aspect primarily because, of the major outsourcing nations, only CHina has the economic and industrial base needed to drastically harm US manufacturing without the resuling economic boom destroying the factors that made outsourcing attractive in the first place.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

I like how he mentions Rome as failing due to abandoning it's principles, as if it failed the moment they turned from republic to empire.

You just don't understand that the true guiding principle of Rome was "don't collapse."

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

No, no.  That's all wrong.  Some pundit/interviewee/whatever I saw a few weeks ago informed me that America was "founded on freedom."  Which means we're standing atop it and trampling it every day.  It makes sense.
