Yep, multipolarity in spades. All of which will make the world a less dangerous place, by considerably raising the economic and geopolitical price tag of Empire and its murderous interventions. And there's no question Mrs. Paleiselin is a vicious cretin, just another provincial goon recruited by the petro-fundies -- a dimmer and more malevolent version of Dan Quayle.
But now it's up to Obama. If he runs against the Empire, the way Clinton ran against globalization in 1992, he can still win. The polls say its close, so let's hope for the best.
