The alternative was worse. A McCain Presidency = no StimPak, economic
freefall, no moves towards a multipolar world, and at least two new
imperial wars (one against Iran, one against a democratic state, Russia).
In response, the BRICs would've stopped buying T-bills in December 2008
and all geopolitical hell would be loose.

I was a little worried about the 2012 election, but it looks like the
BRICs have stepped up their time-table. By 2011, they should have the
world economy humming again.
