I take alot of resentment towards the US with a grain of salt. For the most part, I'd say in just about every case where someone criticizes the US for something, their country has/is even worse policys and practices than those that they repremand. Hell, alot of people dont' even really have legitimate reasons for hating the US. Mommy and daddy hate the US, or Joe Public Speaker says he hates the US, so I should to. It's always vogue to rebel against the establishment. Ironically, you'd think that would make people hate the UN, but it only goes to show whom actually does anything within the UN....

It may sound alittle naive, but I'm not all that worried about China. Communism never took root in the US because the citizens of the USA already had "stuff". China's success has been supplying their citizens with more and more "stuff". Possession of personal property will be the spark that lights the fire of revolution against the establishment in China I think. It's still some distance off in the future, but equally distant to the time when the US will really have to start fearing China.
